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.

Some of you may be aware that in 2008, I broke the story about Nancy Pelosi's criminal pursuits and relationship with a T-Boone Pickens' enterprise.

Her efforts of course, crushed the middle class and working poor who had to dish out the $4 a gallon for their transportation to work. All in the name of "Clean Energy", not only a term for green energy pursuits, but also the name of the company she bought into May 25 of 2007, at its IPO. The country suffered long and hard for the sake of a few more shekels in the purse of the former speaker, while much of the media looked in the other direction. A weak interview on the subject by Tom Brokaw is available, where she poo-poos the insignificant amounts invested in the company which spent over $3,000,000 towards promoting a contract that could have rewarded her on the order of facebook or Ebay.(if it had succeeded.)

Heaven forbid the hundreds of millions of dollars the networks (including a presumed fair and balanced FOX) that Mr Pickens was shoveling out be interrupted by a negative look in his direction.

And now, with congress being looked at for its insider trading element, will we see a rewind and look back at the votes that put the bling on blinky, in ways we could only dream of for ourselves?

And Now Michelle Malkin notes Pickens is back with a Pelosi Deal, and our Republican lawmakers might help her along.
