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.

For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

How convenient.

Perhaps anyone else who faces mortgage fraud charges from here on out has an ace-in-the-hole precedent. At least under equal application of the law. From WXYZ:

"A federal judge has temporarily stopped forfeiture procedures to seize the home of Michigan Supreme Court Justice Diane Hathaway.
The move could signal that change is afoot behind the scenes, ranging from a upcoming criminal charges to some sort of settlement of the present civil case, .."

Which way could it go? Oh my! Hmm lets see .. Who's in charge of the [federal] hen house? Oh yeah.

As someone might have put it in an email recently; "Holder's Office would never cough up a sitting Useful Idiot on a Team R majority SCOMI."

Indeed.

We can help them fight the 'haters', right?

No Dan, you cannot give these guys any rope. You don't dare arm them with moral support, or self flagellating on behalf of the Republicans who you say are stepping over the line.

They just take it and run with it.

This release just came out:

MAPSA Expresses Outrage After Anti-School-Choice Group Links Charter Schools to the Ku Klux Klan
LANSING, Michigan (January 3, 2012) - The Michigan Association of Public School Academies expressed outrage today after an anti-school-choice group in Michigan used its Facebook page to link charter schools to the Ku Klux Klan.
Michigan Parents for Schools, an Ann Arbor-based group headed by Executive Director Steven Norton, put a link on its Facebook page on Sunday to an article from the Knights of the KKK's official Web page. The KKK article carried the headline "Segregated Charter Schools Evoke Separate But Equal Era in U.S.," and tried to advance the discredited claim that charter schools promote segregation. The Michigan group's Facebook page also carried a retweet that said "KKK supports charters b/c they further segregation."
