  • 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.

    What better scenario could possibly happen for Unapologetic Conservatives, other than to have an East coast thug who strong-armed his way to chair the Republican Governors Association, flitting about The Mitten campaigning for the Nerd?

    Please visit I'm a man! I'm 41! for reason why Christie is useful.

    Folks, it's all about transparency, of which, as like with Christie, Rick Snyder's self-invented nerd persona is anything but transparent.

    I suppose the exit question should be: will the Boobus Michiganderus voters swallow a second term of Snyder abuse?

    The Republican Majority in Lansing, has nothing better to do other than figuring out ways to screw the people of Michigan out of another $5.

    Passed 74 to 33 in the House on October 3, 2013, to mandate that vehicle owners must replace their license plate after 10 years, even if it is still legible. Under current law the state imposes a $5 extra charge to replace a plate.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Astute Observation of John Yob and Stu Sandler

    I've always held a fondness for Republican Michigander.  Decent young man.  Believes in what he does.  I respect that.  Do we always see eye-to-eye?  Hell no.  That's OK.  It'd be boring otherwise.  What's all the lead in about, CS?  Glad you ask.  I just took a yonder over to Dan's blog, and dammit, principle prevails from Dan, again.

    Full disclosure. I'm not a tea party guy. I'm not an anti tea party guy. Sometimes I agree with various tea party individuals and sometimes I am in opposition. I want to make that clear.

    The straw poll was out and there was two races there listed. Lt Gov and President 2016. It is way early at this point and I haven't made up my mind. In that straw poll I voted for Mike Pence and Wes Nakagiri. I voted for Wes because of the gamesmanship from the "friends of the program." If you've seen the James Caan college football movie "The Program" you would understand the reference. It's where shady activities are involved by those close to but not directly related to the program. Some shady tactics were going on right before Mackinac related to "anti-Wes" activity and I wasn't happy about it. I know Wes being from the same county as he is. Those fake emails weren't his work. I don't know Brian Calley personally, although I've met him and he seems like a nice guy and I've heard that from others.

    My vote for LG, like any other office will be determined by who helps the ticket the best. To me, that means the hardest worker for the campaign will get my vote. LG is about three things. 1. Getting the gubernatorial nominee elected. 2. Tie-breaking vote in the senate. 3. Ability to be governor if sometime happens to the governor (not applicable since the disaster Bill Milliken took over for George Romney after he took a cabinet post).

    I don't want to see BS gamesmanship here. I don't care which side it comes from. I want to see candidates campaign and make their case. No more Romney primary tricks, nor Paul Scott 2010 Sec of State tricks.

    That's a fair shake on the BS Rube Goldberg straw poll.  Good assessment, Dan.  The chattering class handling the incumbents are scrambling.  Circle them wagons, boys - the taxpayers are awakening!  Look, it's no secret to anyone that Brian Calley is the biggest joke in town if trying to paint him as a Conservative voice on the "Nerdy Ticket" to bigger government and higher taxes.  C'mon folks, a contrived straw poll from this jagoff?  AYFKM?  Besides, even the late Ray Charles could see Strat Nat pulling strings from behind the curtain.  Tacky.

    Yessirree.  It is said that bullsh!t sells but, who's buying it anymore?  Not I.  Good luck with that, Nerdy ticket...

    If It Isn't Ignorance, Then It's Hypocrisy

    There's been a great deal said on this site recently about a particular primary candidate, including some about his negatives, such as:

    • Congressional "career" spanning almost two decades
    • Voted for HR-3448 (Minimum Wage Increase Bill), which, in addition to increasing the minimum wage, also did a whole bunch of other messy things
    • Voted five times to raise the debt ceiling
    • Voted for the 2005 highway funding bill that included the infamous earmark for the Bridge to Nowhere
    • Voted for at least one very unpopular pro-gun control bill
    • Post-Congress employment has left him open to accusations of being a "Washington insider."
    • Is a current client of Strategic National

    And I'll bet that you think you know who I'm talking about, but you might want to grab your notepad and follow me below the fold.

    Michigan GOP 2010 State Convention - Aftermath, Consequences, & Lessons Learned


    By Kevin Rex Heine, Section News
    Posted on Mon Sep 13, 2010 at 10:54:47 PM EST

    In his Remarks in New York City at a Reception for Delegates to the State Republican Convention on June 17, 1982, Ronald Reagan said, "When the chips are down and the decisions are made as to who the candidates will be, then the 11th Commandment prevails and everybody goes to work, and that is:  `Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican'."  The point of this philosophy (originally developed in September of 1965 by California State Republican Party Chairman Gaylord Parkinson) was to avoid having Republican primary opponents so thoroughly savage each other that the stage would be set in the general campaign for a liberal Democrat win in November.  Additionally, once the general ticket is in place, the caution here is to set aside the heat of the primary contests and work as a statewide team for a GOP win at the general election.

    To say that the 2010 Michigan Republican State Convention was "interesting" would be considered by many attendees as an understatement.  By all honest accounts, it was evident that the MIGOP party leadership expected that, in exchange for being allowed a few seats at the table, the Michigan Tea Party Alliance would be good little sheep on the convention floor and rubber stamp the decrees of the party officials.  Funny thing about that though, is that the MTPA members blindly answer to no one (certainly no one whose trustworthiness is considered suspect at best), and most assuredly do not simply do as they're told.  On the flip side of that coin, though, anyone who is of the opinion that the MTPA is going to take out their frustration on the GOP ticket is going to be thoroughly disabused of that notion come November.

    Smoking Out The Rats In A Snake Pit - Calley vs. Cooper

    You'd think that someone would have covered it.  In the Grand Rapids area, channel 3, channel 13, the Grand Rapids Press, and the Associated Press mentioned it in passing.  Channel 17 mentioned the event that precipitated it and much of what followed it (although they did give it some coverage on the video).  Channel 8 was the only one to cover it in any detail.  Oddly enough, even Michigan Liberal at least gave it a spot.  And the really goofy thing is that in perusing the statewide media coverage of the 2010 Michigan Republican Convention this past weekend, the two Detroit papers provide the most accurate account of what happened as a whole at the convention . . . but only if you know how to combine the facts and weed out the inaccuracies.  Even then, both the Freep and the detNews didn't quite get the key point of what happened.

    So I suppose that, as usual, the conservative blogger-journalists have to step up to the plate and correct the record.  And in this case, I can provide a rather unique perspective.
