  • 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

    ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

    Mentioning the term "abusive relationship" will often conjure up any number of images in the listener's mind, from a physically violent spouse or parent to a tyrannical employer or a manipulative neighbor.  But no matter the scenario or the type of relationship (domestic, intimate, personal, professional, or social), there is one thing that all truly abusive relationships have in common . . . exactly one common thread running through all abusive relationships that is the sole defining characteristic demarcating what does and doesn't make any relationship abusive.  And until the person on the receiving end of the abuse gets this, there is no chance of breaking the cycle.

    I have, my entire adult life, desired to accomplish one thing above all others.  Beyond what normal men might find worth aspiring to, I have always wanted to win one when it really mattered.  To just once be the guy it all rides on when it's on the line . . . and deliver the goods.  To slay the dragon, save the world, and get the girl . . . film at eleven.  To, for one moment in time, have my "A game" firing on all cylinders . . . and be utterly unstoppable.

    However, God, in his wisdom, has heretofore seen fit to withhold from me such success . . . until last weekend.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Because Credibility Must Be Restored

    In his book, "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team," Patrick Lencioni writes:

    "If you could get all the people in an organization rowing in the same direction, you could dominate any industry, in any market, against any competition, at any time."

    . . . and holy cow, wouldn't we love to actually have a political party that could hand the Socialist-Democrats their jackasses on a plate with some reliability every election.  But there's some work we're going to have to do first in order to get there.

    Because I couldn't have said it better myself, I wanted to share with you an e-mail that I received from State Representative Tom McMillin a couple of hours ago.

    This Is Our Chance

    Tags: MIGOP May 2012 State Convention, Michigan's Republican National Committeeman, Saul Anuzis, Dave Agema, Gerald LaRouche, integrity argument, Michigan Tea Party Patriot Network, Justin Amash, county republican conventions (all tags)

    You may recall that, a couple of days ago, I mentioned the initial Dave Agema endorsement list.  I'd like to point out that not only has that list expanded considerably, but that expansion includes one very high-profile "get" that ought to, in my opinion, qualify as a major indicator of the intentions of the tea party insurgency for the Republican Party apparatus.

    Conservatives Support Dave Agema

    Break out your ever-handy Michigan Highway map and any random dark-colored Sharpie marker.  Using a steady hand, trace the Sharpie along the I-69 corridor, from the Bluewater Bridge all the way through Kinderhook Township.  In so doing, you've just drawn the major battle line of the Anuzis vs. Agema contest for the office of Michigan's Republican National Committeeman.

    Already Working The Phones

    Yesterday, State Representative Dave Agema submitted his Convention Candidate Affidavit of Candidacy to the MIGOP Policy Committee (via the State Party Chairman), complete with the approval signatures of eight district chairs.  Now, it's officially on.  And an indication of how this campaign is going to be fought is the name that's showed up on my caller ID five times in the past 36 hours (though he somehow hasn't yet seen fit to leave a message on my voicemail).

    iCaucus Election Alert (and Recommendation)

    Tags: MIGOP May 2012 State Convention, Michigan's Republican National Committeeman, Saul Anuzis, Dave Agema, integrity argument, Independence Caucus of Michigan (all tags)

    You may remember me mentioning the Independence Caucus of Michigan in the context of the 2010 Michigan Secretary of State Republican Primary or this year's republican U. S. Senate primary.  However, a couple of days ago I received an e-mail from a key member of the organization's leadership that indicated that they'd be getting involved in one of this year's convention races.
