  • 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.

    The Next Generation Of Leaders

    While we battle to save the soul of the country, it is nearly impossible to keep up with the rampant disinformation of the left.

    One problem conservatives face, is that of correcting the factual errors promulgated by those who wish to "CHANGE" our country into a socialist dystopia.  The group "By Any Mean Necessary" (BAMN) lives up to their moniker recently by straight up lying to (incredibly) dumb kids and turning them loose as hecklers and instigators.  The tool so often employed by progressives was in full overdrive as Jen Gratz attempted to speak with college liberty types about the landmark Michigan initiative she won in 2006.

    "Several of the ninth grade BAMN members erroneously believed that Gratz had sued only the black students at UM, instead of the university itself. They repeated this claim in interviews with The Daily Caller after the event.

    "She never sued the whites," a female Cody student told The Daily Caller. "Why didn't she sue the other half, the white part?"

    Ignoring the fact she sued the School itself and the board of regents, even after being corrected.

    "Facts are so overrated"

    Sez the left.

    Leave it to SE Michigan's Moscow on the Huron to go the way of control freak Mayor Doomberg.

    University of Michigan Health System and the University of Michigan Medical School will no longer peddle sugary drinks in their cafeterias and vending machines, banning the sale of everything from sodas to sweetened coffees.
    ....

    "It is part of our effort to model healthy behaviors," said Pete Barkey, a spokesman for the health system.

    And when U of M's "effort" does not include the use of my tax dollars, they are free to do whatever the Hell they want.

    But several other efforts to reduce access have bred backlash for going to far to restrict personal choice. Courts have ruled that New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's push to ban the sale of sugary drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces was illegal.

    The Left is "pro choice" when comes to killing babies and Teh Ghey marriage.  Have a soft drink?  Forgettaboutit.  All those mentally ill cretins are fully deserving to be mocked.

    That babe ^ is still the Big Gulp of Truth.

    ICYMI - End Of A BAD Era

    The era of ever increasing tuition, leftist games, foreign technology transfers and racist admission policies could be over.

    I'll let Henry cover this one

    Replacing retiring President Mary Sue Coleman offers the University of Michigan a historic opportunity to reboot with an administrator who embraces a 21st century, colorblind admissions policy that is succeeding in states like California. The university's board could signal the new era by including Jennifer Gratz on its presidential search committee.
    Its a good start.

    Read the rest.

    But I Want the Fist and the Tiara

    I reckon that being truthful plays all kinds of hell on an Executive who pushed through the DIA Tax on his county, and on a Governerd swirling tax dollars down the drain on excess, and extravagance while the bodies pile, and anarchy descends.

    via The Detroit News

    The Michigan Republican Party on Tuesday pulled a cable TV ad that bashes Detroit while touting Oakland County's GOP.

    County Executive L. Brooks Patterson saw the 34-second ad and asked state GOP Chairman Bobby Schostak on Tuesday to pull it, saying it was unnecessarily negative.

    Patterson, who is undergoing rehabilitation for injuries suffered in a car crash, received a resounding no, spokesman Bill Mullan said.

    "I've always run political campaigns built on positive messages. My campaign has asked the independent entity that produced this ad to take it down, but they've refused," Patterson said in a statement on Tuesday. "Detroit has its challenges. But my administration has always tried to be part of the solution."

    More with video of pulled commercial

    And, folks still try to tell me that there is a Two Party system.  Again .. Shut up, Brooks.  Your 73-year-old duplicitous tongue needs to head out to pasture, and tell tales of how you remember your legend to your grandchildren.  Everything has a built in obsolescence, Brooks - you, like this dangerous fossil, have finally met yours.

    That is fact.

    Tell it to the Nerd Voters, Rep. Rogers

    Noticed an interesting post discussing our infrastructure, and communications over at Hall of Record

    Huawei, a global Chinese telecommunications equipment manufacturer already doing limited business in the U.S., poses a threat to national and corporate security say members of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Those congressmen speak to Steve Kroft for a 60 Minutes investigation to be broadcast Sunday, Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. ET and 7:00 p.m. PT.

    The world's largest maker of telecommunications equipment has been under investigation for the past year by the committee, which will issue its report on the Chinese company on Monday. The committee's chair, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), tells Kroft, "If I were an American company today...and you are looking at Huawei, I would find another vendor if you care about your intellectual property, if you care about your consumers' privacy, and you care about the national security of the United States of America."

    More

    No kidding, Mike.  Good thing the Canadians had Snyder file a Buy American waiver on their DRIC, too.

    Sure poses a quagmire for the MI-GOP loyalists, and the ChiCom loving Governerd, doesn't it?

    Regents & Trustees

    The MiGOP convention is coming soon.

    Among the choices delegates will be making are for the Republican noninations for trustee positions sought at MSU, and Regent at U of M.  In these two races, I have decided to support solid constitutionalists, and fighters for common sense.  Getting the respective fiscal houses in order, concern over the cost of tuition increases caused by social engineering and subsidizing out of  country students (for diversity) will be addressed by these folks.  The constitution as a part of the curriculum also taken a little more seriously than it has been for too many years.

    Snatching Defeat From The Jaws of Victory

    via MCC

    A state fund intended to create 390 Michigan jobs has loaned $7.7 million to 35 companies and created 79 jobs - only 20 percent of the number initially promised.

    Ann Arbor SPARK received an $8 million grant in 2006 to create the Michigan Pre-Seed Capital Fund, which used $7.7 million of that amount. The grant was awarded as part of the Competitive Edge Technology Grants and Loans program, which exists "to encourage the development of competitive edge technologies to create jobs in the state."

    Skip Simms, manager of the Michigan Pre-Seed Capital Fund, said in an email, "We saw a need for early stage capital for start-up technology based companies, which the private sector wasn't providing at the time."

    Rest here

    Gummint creates jobs?  Never has even with coercive theft wealth redistribution.  What he said.
