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.

For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

Pure torture. And no, its not the Romney/Obama debate of which I speak.

Last night was a busy one in the Grand Traverse area. Along with anticipation for the presidential debate scheduled to start at 9pm, there was a popular hearing on a $25 septic tank assessment scheduled for 6pm, and a Benishek/McDowell debate scheduled for 7pm at the local library. The assessment hearing had upwards of 600 people show up unexpectedly, (out of those 25,000 septic tank owners) resulting in cancellation of the hearing, and subsequent meetings today and tomorrow. (someday I may relate that tale) The Benishek/McDowall event was standing room only.

Dan Benishek gets it.

There is no question, DR. Dan understands the mechanics of how jobs are created better than his opponent. He understands as well as anyone why the 'Affordable Healthcare Act' is the ruin of good medicine. However, it wasn't until the second to last question of the debate that he was clearly understood. Debating skills were not at all present at this affair. Benishek's "I am not a politician", being the theme of his campaign, and partially the theme of last nights event?

No kidding.

More below the fold.

Regressisphere off the tracks: Attempt to WATERBOARD Zarko is LUNACY!

I hesitate to even discuss this issue but the Michigan Regressisphere's latest game is starting to get dangerous. Physically dangerous.

The Left doesn't like waterboarding. Waterboarding is torture. Waterboarding is the devil. The Left especially doesn't like the Bush administration because it used waterboarding as an interrogation technique to garner information about terror attacks from unrepentant terrorists. Can't torture terrorists... that's inhumane. American citizens and fellow Michiganders with whom you happen to disagree politically? Apparently that's a different story.
