  • 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.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Stay Home, Fatso

    Just what this state needs.  A corrupt East coast liberal, lobbyist for Bernie Madoff, turned Joisey blowhard governor stinking up the Mitten.

    Christie, who will become head of the Republican Governors Association this month, plans to campaign in states that he could need if he seeks the Republican presidential nomination in 2016. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has not formally announced he will seek re-election, but is widely expected to do so early next year.

    Christie told The New York Times on Tuesday he would appear frequently next year in "places like Ohio and Michigan and Florida."

    AYFKM?!?!  Thanks to Reince Priebus, the GOP remains dead to me.  The Libertarians are the dumbest of the lot, so much so, that even Uncle Squeaky couldn't save his "free the weed" following from voting Obama's stalking horse Anarcho-Lunacy.

    I'll leave y'all with a quote from 2012's VP vetting that says it all about Christie - "He sounds like the biggest a$$hole in the world," Stevens griped to his partner, Russ Shriefer.

    Indeed, Mr. Stevens... yannow, "Pufferfish" is Snyder's kinda peeps.

    How the allegedly unbiased State AG hasn't raided Rakolta's Walbridge offices becomes... rather glaring.

    You Didn't See It, Now You Won't

    "we ought to be more transparent than we have to be"

    How dumb.  Just disclose what you have now and move along.  L. Brooks Patterson doesn't hesitate to name those he shakes down and those buying influence in Oakland County, however, Rick Snyder is above that as if his donors are like Barry's college transcripts.

    "I think if you don't release it, it looks like there's something suspicious," Patterson told The News. "We all talk about transparency and we either live it or not."
    ....

    "It's easier to hit your supporters for a donation sometimes, than getting them to donate from their personal account," Patterson said of getting corporate donations made to the fund.

    Snyder testified last week in a deposition in Detroit's bankruptcy case that he doesn't know who donates to the fund - an admission that's raised some eyebrows. "It's almost dereliction of duty if he didn't know who the donors were," Robinson said.

    Rich Baird testified he didn't know either.  What a pack of lies.  So, what's a Nerd to do?  Naturally, Rick Snyder put's his crony on the public dole with a $40,000 pay raise.  Frilliant!

    The alleged Party of principle, strikes again.

    Gov. Rick Snyder today announced the appointment of Ron Boji, of Orchard Lake, to the state Transportation Commission.

    The six-member commission is the policy-making body for all state transportation programs.

    "Ron has enjoyed a distinguished career and I look forward to his contributions to this important commission," Snyder said.

    Hey, it's a Nerdy job but, somebody's got to do it...

    Yippie!  Federal road monies for Ron to run his fingers through.

    The Republican Majority in Lansing, has nothing better to do other than figuring out ways to screw the people of Michigan out of another $5.

    Passed 74 to 33 in the House on October 3, 2013, to mandate that vehicle owners must replace their license plate after 10 years, even if it is still legible. Under current law the state imposes a $5 extra charge to replace a plate.

    Because, Rick Michigan can't print money...

    So happy to vote this loser out in '14.  The above ^ is what's wrong with America and the GOP.
