    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.

    Mr. Finley, Exec Patterson: Enough is ENOUGH!

    The level of establishment skullduggery being demonstrated in Oakland Co shows no limits.  Now, we have Nolan Finley, deciding to carry the Patterson/Cassis water with propagating a new "whisper campaign" with seeds of intent to malign Republican CD-11 candidate, Kerry Bentivolio.

    Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson was disappointed in the outcome of the primary vote and wasn't sure if the party establishment will rally around Bentivolio.

    "I don't know what the party will do," Patterson said. "He is our nominee. I don't agree with his libertarian views, but there are issues we can find common ground on, like repealing Obamacare and the $15 trillion national debt."

    What's to do, Brooks?  You and your cronies support the only Republican, Kerry Bentivolio.  C'mon Brooks, get that big old swollen Teddy Kennedy-sized head of yours out of the peoples way: you're obstructing the Party candidate.  It's bad enough to have Third World voting Schostak in Lansing dumping on Mr. Bentivolio, but I never expected to read a hastily slapped together before the AG announcement, Finley piece pushing the 'Nutty Nancy' propaganda mill too.

    Contributing to the hesitancy of GOP poobahs to embrace Bentivolio Wednesday were rumors that his campaign will be touched when Attorney Gen. Bill Schuette issues election fraud indictments Thursday in the McCotter ballot petition fraud investigation.

    That dive into how a veteran congressman allowed a failure to collect enough valid signatures to bounce him from an office he'd held for 10 years is expected to produce fascinating findings that could go beyond McCotter's office and staff.

    Opinions piece based upon agenda rumors, Nolan?  Unnecessary.  Sorry, Mr. Finley, but YOU really owe Mr. Bentivolio, a HUGE apology.  And you actually wonder why Kerry declined speaking with you?  You're some piece of work, Nolan.  Your employer must be so proud.

    Like before, The Buck Stops with McCotter.  AG Schuette Press Release, here.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Schostak Flirting With a Potential Keith Ellison-D in CD-11

    I just happened to catch this little gem from the Worst Party Chair EVER via The Detroit News.

    Bentivolio will face Dr. Syed Taj, a Canton Township trustee, in November. Cassis congratulated Bentivolio, but did not offer an endorsement.

    Bobby Schostak, chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, offered a mild endorsement of Bentivolio at a GOP unity event in Lansing, but would not commit the party to spending money in the 11th District to help him win.

    "It's obviously difficult to have a write-in campaign. He succeeded. He's a Republican on the ballot, and we intend to send a Republican to Washington. Plain as day," Schostak said.

    "We'll evaluate the races equally and where possible we'll invest in races."

    Later in the day, the Michigan Republican Party issued a memo emphasizing that the 22,276 Republican write-in votes "beat" the 21,952 votes Taj got in his Democratic primary victory against Bill Roberts, a Lyndon LaRouche activist from Redford Township.

    The memo also noted Bentivolio received more votes than Taj and Roberts combined.

    With Taj as the nominee, Democrats see the 11th District as a possible opportunity to capture a Republican seat that would have been unimaginable six months ago.

    So, the only Republican on the ballot in CD-11 receives "He succeeded" in an all-out  orchestrated smear campaign waged against him.  That besmirching of Kerry Bentivolio, actually happened at the MI-GOP "Unity" event for Hoekstra?  What strange bedfellows.  Pete, and John, where's all that 'Relentless Positive' talk from folk in Party Leadership for, Mr. Bentivolio?   DRIC Nerd make no likey for Kerry-san too?  DRIC Nerd has not been afraid to poke his nose into Oakland Co politics before, so that is a reasonable question to raise.

    Wow!  What a take away from it all.  Unbelievable.  Well, maybe it's not so unbelievable considering that Chair Schostak was gushing over adding the 2010 MEA, UFCW, AFL-CIO, MI AFSCME, AFT endorsed Democrat, Roy Schmidt poisoning the Party well.

    The CD-11 agenda is obvious.  If Chair Schostak isn't signaling the local Party's that he is willing to aid them with noncommittal messages to get their Chosen One elected on Sept 5, then nothing is.  Folks in CD-11, you're now being played at the state level.  Without doubt.  The state level players have said that you are incompetent dummies that need your candidate selected for you by networked hierarchy folk with money.

    Frankly, I'm not sure where the grassroots stand anymore after their successful ouster of NPV Saul Anuzis and his ties to the Anyone but Hoekstra senate candidate, but if this kind of ongoing election manipulation such as "DELE-GATE" by establishment is to ever end, replacing Saul and Holly, with the Honorable Rep. Dave Agema, and Terri Lynn Land, was just the beginning.

    Bobby Schostak, has to go.

    Gov. Snyder, Why Go All Obama & O'Reilly Over A Bridge?

    Not good.  Not good at all.  Today's detnews.com has a disturbing piece highlighting the depths that Governor Snyder's Office will delve in efforts to silence Party discussion that opposes the merits of his Federal and Canadian government entangled public bridge.

    Conservative political commentator Dick Morris' June 9 appearance in Metro Detroit has been canceled under pressure, he says, from the Governor's Office.

    He will, however, speak at the Oakland County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner on Wednesday. That appearance, too, was in jeopardy when Gov. Rick Snyder's office urged organizers to rescind their invitation.

    "I was scheduled and then I was canceled," said Morris, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton who has switched to the Republican Party. "Apparently free speech has its limits in Snyder's Michigan."

    Morris, a Fox News commentator, is a consultant to the Detroit International Bridge Co., which owns the Ambassador Bridge and hopes to build a second privately owned span across the Detroit River. Republican Snyder supports a publicly owned span. Many in his party oppose that plan.

    "Obviously the governor's concern was directly related to my opposition to his $2 billion bridge proposal," Morris said.

    Indeed.  This continuation of Jennifer Granholms' bridge scheme by Snyder was ill received when he laid that rotten egg during his SOTS speech.
