  • 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.

    With Friends Like Finley, Who Needs Mark Brewer?

    Amazing.  I honestly believe Detroit has finally lost what passes for the last standing paper with a Conservative slant to it.  This past weekend Nolan Finley, took it upon himself to unleash a can of cognitive dissonance RINO whoop-ass on the Michigan Republican Legislature.

    But voters didn't give Republicans a mandate to drag the state to the far right on contentious social issues.

    And yet last week, the Legislature sent to the governor a bill banning public employers from offering domestic partner benefits. It strips local communities and school districts of the right to shape benefit packages that make sense for their workers, and places Michigan outside the mainstream of current employment practices.

    Exactly what "mainstream" would Mr. Finley be referring to?  Governor Moonbeams' bankrupt California?  Harry Reids' foreclosure epicenter Nevada?  Stanley Ann Dunhams' Hawaii?  C'mon Nolan, there are only 7 other Democratic Party controlled states left to hold up for your "mainstream" meme.  Mr. Finley, should also note the State of Wisconsin is smack in the face of his next double-down on the Michigan Legislature.

    More below.

    Splitting headache today preventing too much wonderful originality, however I wanted to let you in on something good happening in Lansing.

    A Michigan legislator wants legislation that bans the murder of children who happen to be unfortunate enough to have been conceived and carried in Michigan.  "Unfortunate" at least till now.

    State Sen. Arlan Meekhof, is introducing (not yet enrolled)  SB 160 to ban the practice of partial birth abortion in Michigan.  The practice which has had other attempts to ban it by legislators only to be shot down by the former governatrix Jennifer Granholm. When presented with the opportunity as passed by the house 72 34 and senate 24 to 13 in 2008.

    This time its different.  Or at least one would think so.

    First off, the language is supposed to mirror already constitutionally vetted language by congress, because another attempt was through a citizen initiative, and was ruled unconstitutional by the 6th circuit court:

    Constitutionality: The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, affirming the U.S. District Court's decision in Northland Family Planning v Cox (docket Nos. 05-2417 and 05-2418, published June 4, 2007), held that the Legal Birth Definition Act, an act initiated by citizen petition, is unconstitutional. The court held that "invalidation of the law is the only available course" since the act "imposed an undue burden on a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy by prohibiting the D and E procedure, because it failed to adequately protect the health of the woman, and because it was void for vagueness due to its confusing language."

    I would encourage the fast passage of this protection of our unborn.

    Life is kinda cool.. ya know?
