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

I don't know about you, but I kind of resent that I have to repeatedly beg a few men in a far off city to do the right thing.

Representative Frank Wolf has 146 Co-Sponsors to House Resolution 36, which calls for a Select Committee to investigate the attack on Benghazi.

According to The Hill, while many of the members of the committees that oversee this issue have signed on to HR 36, the chairmen of those committees and Speaker Boehner stand against a select committee.

The Chairmen in question are:

Chairman of the Intelligence Committee: Mike Rogers R-MI
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee: Bob Goodlatte R-VA
Chairman of Oversight and Government Reform: Darrell Issa R-CA
Chairman of Armed Services: Howard "Buck" McKeon R-CA
Chairman of Foreign Affairs: Ed Royce R-CA

The Mighty ACORN

Bill's new column this week takes a look at the operations of the left-wing group ACORN and some incomplete reporting on the organization by the New York Times. Since you wouldn't normally have a chance to read this in your local paper (unless you live in Alpena, Escanaba, Marquette, or Mount Clemons), I thought I'd cross-post it here. Just FYI, there is a Michigan angle to this, and it's not one you'd expect.
