Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

Republicans get SERVED.

Tis true... The Republicans in congress have just been 'served'.

Rear ends on a platter, placed at a disadvantage, made to look mushy..yada yada. Republicans lost an advantage to the president last night because they don't yet understand that some things have deeper meanings.

Ronald Reagan said it best when he asked:

"Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?"

So following the election of November 2010, and the clarified will of the people, it would seem an opportune time to demonstrate that new clarity in a bold and cutting manner. The smallest section of the legislative chambers reflecting who was shown to be on the wrong side of the country with regard to their legislative maneuvering on such things as health care, energy, and social policy. It could have been so clear in the televised fashion, that change did indeed happen.

First, from a more free market type of economy, to a top down planned one. Then from a majority in the house to a decisive minority as a result of that very move.

Bold differences separate the lunacy on the left to the conservative ideals of the right. And it happens here as well. (more below)
