  • 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.

    I hope everyone is enjoying their end of the summer activities, and celebrating the actual achievements of workers (not labor unions)on this labor day weekend.

    I present to you a compelling piece I found by Gary Glenn on the choices available to Michiganders as we look to the next year of selecting our US Senate Candidate, a primary race of which Glenn is a part. It highlights differences between Hoekstra and Glenn on issues that should be important to not only conservatives but even those moderates within the Republican party of Michigan.

    Glenn, one of several candidates looking to be the challenger to Stabenow in 2012 tends to speak to the Tea Party concerns more clearly in my opinion than Pete Hoekstra, and possibly one or two others vying for the same chance.  In fact the only candidates who come close (as I have observed during speeches and presentations) would be Roscommon businessman Peter Konetchy, and former Kent County Probate Judge Randy Hekman.   I have not yet had the opportunity to vett Clark Durant, who is being heavily pushed by National Popular Vote advocate Saul Anuzis.

    I should note that candidates who wish to air their opinions here are more than welcome to publish at will, subject to reformatting to fit the front page.

    Glenn's piece is below the line.

    About a month ago, I posted a video of declared Republican US Senate candidate Peter Konetchy. There is no doubt that we have a pretty decent selection of candidates for the Michigan US Senate seat currently occupied by noted meat puppet Debbie Stabenow.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Michigan Labor's Agenda

    Its coercive socialism on some form of stimulant.

    These guys are dead serious about taking away your ability to make decisions on your own, and want to be sure the hooks into their meal tickets in government are well protected.

    Over the next few weeks we'll look at the different things big labor wants to protect for its use, and those laws and protections it wants to overturn to make Michigan more vulnerable to the whims of a few elite thugs running today's organized labor in this once great state.  Sadly some really good people who are skilled in their trades and those in education get caught up in the back and forth, and frankly I cannot blame them for being a little concerned where they will be when the dust settles.  

    I can tell you there are many who ought not be in those fields however.  And those are the ones who are concerned about the push for RTW, or Right-To-Work legislation by tea party types, constitutionalists, and right minded thinkers all over.  

    The weak among the organized masses are afraid.  The organizers know it, and are ready with their own editorial template to counter common sense and promote further, the tenets of mediocrity.

    Time To Stop Fooling Around "Leader" Richardville

    The schizophrenic nature of our state government comes as no surprise.

    Republicans who have been around and 'know better' are in the positions of power and are no wiser than the Democrats who have just been given the boot.  Creatures accustomed to things done a certain way are hardly the agents of change Michigan so desperately needs.

    One would think the taking of Michigan's most important institutions would have set free a newly inspired animal of renewal and dominance.  Sadly however, what appears is a timid beast too scared to fully emerge from its cage, seeking the quickest route back to being walled in where it is safe and secure.  Our legislators are riding along in some ways toward new ways of dealing with problems that have been building for decades, yet some of them who have been around too long seem to have a serious case of Stockholm syndrome and sympathize with the enemy a little too much. In fact, to the point of being called "Squishy":

    Led by squishy moderate Randy Richardville, Senate Republicans have always been suspect as a reform ally. And their counter-proposal is a retreat from their mandate for change. Rather than pushing their governor - who has courageously offered a new direction - to be even more aggressive on tax reform and bloated union benefits, the GOPers backslide towards politics-as-usual higher taxes and special interest loopholes.

    Indeed, I have written before about the cowardice that exists within the republican leadership in the Senate for not bringing a simple fix to Michigan.  And yes..  I said it, and I will again if necessary.
