  • 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

    Somebody send this corrupt Democrat a septic truck with Drolets' Mr. Perks strapped to the top of it.

    Jeez, where the Hell is the MIa-GOP when opportunities like this present itself?    Schostak, you're a pathetically out-of-touch old weenie.  That's why we've witnessed Bobby gifting Pelosi, and Udall, $666 in campaign contributions.  Like they cared, idiot.

    It Was About Sending A Message

    "It's not about money ... it's about sending a message."

    That quote is from "The Dark Knight," specifically, the Joker (played with disturbing perfection by Heath Ledger).  Without going into a level of detail that will break the analogy, the point behind that line is that there are some people whose principles are not for sale, regardless of whether for good or ill.  Those who subscribe to the all-too-common philosophy that everyone can be bought, the only question being one of price, don't have the clue before the first clue how to deal with people of principle.

    That philosophical disconnect was on full and open display this past weekend at the Michigan Republican State Convention, and the elites in the establishment plainly didn't know what to do about it.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Just so that we can continue to show Nancy Cassis a little attention here on RightMichigan, let me draw your attention to a little scheme to put taxpayers on the hook for boneheaded decisions made by their local governments, specifically with regard to labor agreements.

    Because The Cycle Must Be Broken

    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.

    Facts are quite stubborn things, really.  As I've mentioned elsewhere on this site, the pesky thing about having a publicly available record is that, sooner or later, you're going to get called on it.  Getting called on her record is exactly what happened last night to Nancy Cassis at the monthly Rattle With Us meeting in Plymouth.

    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.

    Thinking This Through

    So, since this thing that I broke the story on two days ago has managed to make it to the national news media, I took the time to sit down over my evening coffee last night and channeled my high school debate coach (the late Bayard Gum), specifically a few things he taught me about how to reach a logically-solid conclusion.
