    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.

    A Tale Of Two Rallies

    I couldn't tell you how happy I was to be able to pull the trigger yesterday morning, and bring Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum to Northern Lower Michigan.  

    It went of course, as well as I could have imagined, given a mere 30 hours of notice to pull it all together.  30 hours that resulted in a little over 700 folks showing up in support and wishing to hear the conservative Republican alternative in the presidential race.  A little over 700 folks who merely had to show up.

    I have to tell you, this story was already made before the event began.  The news releases mentioning the Santorum Visit and the Romney visit later in the day really dotting the 'i' on what has been perceived as an elite planned campaign and by team Romney.  The context showing pretty clear in articles such as this:

    "Both candidates planned appearances in advance of Michigan's Tuesday presidential primary election.

    Doors for the Santorum event open at 2:30 p.m. No reservations are required, and the event is free.

    Doors for the Romney event open at 5 p.m. at the downtown Traverse City hotel. To reserve a spot at the Romney event call (248) 270-8354 or email teammi@mittromney.com."


    I don't pretend that ALL folks will read this the same way, but ..

    One merely has to look at the locations where such events can happen in reasonably small towns.  Traverse City, MI hosts a few nice venues fit for good sized gatherings, but few have the capability of good sound, video walls, and music.

    The Grand Traverse region gets to show how vital it is to national politics once more, with a visit from a prominent Republican presidential candidate.

    Current Michigan Republican presidential poll favorite Rick Santorum is coming to Traverse City. This is an opportunity to welcome the former Pennsylvania US senator to Traverse City Michigan at the Streeter's Center on Garfield Ave.   His visit will be one of a few stops in Michigan prior to the primary on the 28th.

    The time and date is February 26th at 3:30 to 5:00 pm, with refreshments available.

    The Streeter's Center is fast becoming the preferred stop in for high profile national figures, including former Republican candidate Herman Cain, as well as writer Michelle Malkin, and publisher/media mogul Andrew Breitbart.   The visit by Rick Santorum highlights an effort to make accessible, figures of importance and relevance to northwest Michigan residents.

    Promoted for discussion ~

    Pete Hoekstra's campaign has made the decision to spend the money necessary to purchase a Super Bowl ad to run in key Michigan media markets (Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Marquette, Lansing, and Traverse City) just before kickoff in Indianapolis.  Naturally, the Michigan Democrat Party is not pleased.

    Americans for Prosperity brought Andrew Breitbart, Michelle Malkin, and Ann McIlhenny to Traverse city for an all day event.  Also included was Hillsdale Economist Gary Wolfram, CEI's Vincent Vernuccio, and others.

    One stands out.  If you ever get a chance to run across this guy, you will understand NO ONE knows liberals like he does.

    Off.  The.  Hook.

    Next up? In the AM.

    U.S. Senate Debate In Traverse City Part IV

    Another round (a little out of order) from the Traverse City Debate sponsored by the Grand Traverse Republican Party.

    The Social Security Question.

    Interesting responses.

    However, When one looks at the bigger picture of this Ponzi scheme, it seems that some further out of the box answers may be necessary.  Opting out perhaps?

    I wonder what Pete Hoekstra or Clark Durant would say?  Shame they didn't show up for this GOP sponsored event.

    Enjoy.  Another video will be available later.
