  • 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.

    ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

    And the cracks are widening.

    More will start falling in to the opening.

    The Michigan Republican party elite continue to demonstrate a lack of conscience and common sense.  

    Michigan GOP Chair Bobby Schostak was given a great deal of rescue line by grass roots guy Jack Hoogendyk yesterday, and instead of pulling himself out of the quicksand, he wrapped the line around his .. well, it just goes along with the "give a man enough rope" saying.

    What a foolish thing to do.

    Prior to Schostak pretending like the Republican grassroots give a damn about him or his supposed integrity, there WAS a solution to all of this that was not only available, but considered.  The fate of the Michigan Republican party is one of interest to me.  A suggestion made to one of the 4 who voted for the CHANGE in the rules after the fact was not rejected outright.

    It's just that THEY know so much that ISN'T so. - Ronald Reagan

    This morning on detnews.com a particular story originating out of Howell caught my eye.

    Phil Letten, a Howell resident who has never met McDowell, started a "Support Jay McDowell" page on Facebook. There are about 440 members of the group, and more than 30 people plan to attend Monday night's school board meeting, Letten said.

    "I just found it outrageous and appalling," Letten said of the district's response to the incident. "People in authority are perpetuating a culture of bullying, fear and violence."

    Precisely.  So, who is this Phil Letten of Howell that is perpetrating bullying in our public schools?

    Modernized Michigan Politics And Information

    I am not sure I had ever imagined the social networking mediums would be so crucial to a candidates effort, but considering the advantages it would be hard to ignore.

    The first real experience with the mix of twitter and politics seems to have been the august 2008 effort of Republicans to have one final vote on drilling before going to break.  The Democrats holding the majority, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi holding the country hostage for her own personal gain, would not let the house have one last vote as was tradition.  Twitter served as a means for the house Republicans who refused to go home, to get the message out to bloggers and other alternative news outlets.  The #dontgo movement was born, and Michigan was well represented by its contingent of Republicans standing up for the vote, with some even returning from the airport, deciding the US' energy future was more important than the break.

    They stayed, and reported... They reported by Twitter, a major part of the new social media, now seemingly a part of every politco's toolbox.
