  • 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.

    As If It Makes It OK?

    There is no question the Insurance exchange moving successfully through the Senate was bad, and frankly capitulating to big brother Fed.  But some of the participants in its passing, including State Senator Mark Jansen might think THIS makes it OK:
    Sec. 3407c. (1) A qualified health plan offered through a state exchange pursuant to the patient protection and affordable care act, Public Law 111-148, and the health care and education reconciliation act of 2010, Public Law 111-152, shall not provide coverage for elective abortion. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit an individual, organization, or employer participating in a qualified health plan offered through a state exchange from purchasing optional supplemental coverage for elective abortion outside of the exchange as provided in subsection (2).

    Read the rest. Its as if its thrown in there to appease conscience conservatives.  Of course we don't wish to see tax dollars spent on abortion. We don't want to see abortions frankly.

    However, every time a bill is crafted to capitulate with the left and its great society plans, it seems there has to be riders and subsequent action to (hopefully) silence dissent from the right.

    I believe it may be best to take the ink out of all of their writing utensils for a couple years.

    Constitutional?

    Looking at one of the decisions made recently by our state senators, I wonder how short a person's memory can possibly be?

    Allow me to get just a wee bit cantankerous here.

    In November 2010, the repudiation of the unconstitutional Obamacare could not have been made more clear.  The line drawn in the sand has been made.  Especially in Michigan, (still a "blue" state) which made majorities in both houses for Republicans.  Good Tea Party folk in this state have been particularly effective in moving the spectrum of office holders decidedly to the right, yet political Alzheimers has already beset the marginal recipients of our expressed outrage at the literal Abomination (Obama-nation) through the ballot box.  Many seem to have forgotten the source of their mandate.

    Or they lied.

    Liars should not be forgotten, nor forgiven all too easily.

    Misdirection disguised as good intention is still an obfuscation of truth.  And as one post recently pointed out, there is no bashfulness by certain senators about hiding behind just-in-case legislation for the purpose of accepting federal dollars and selling out Michigan citizens in the big picture of the health care debate.  There is no question that the health care exchange comes with not only strings attached, but rather with full blown ankle bracelets, and 3/8" links.  Yet, if nothing else was clearly stated, there was an absolute rejection of Obamacare demanded in this last election.

    One more piece in the impossible to dismantle government interference in our lives bureaucracy is now that much closer to reality.  

    Yay.

    A little more below.
