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.

In a poll released this week, Senator Mike Bishop was the only candidate who chalked up a decisive victory in a hypothetical General Election match-up against newly announced Democratic Attorney General candidate Gretchen Whitmer.

Bishop also led opponent Bill Schuette amongst those that identified themselves as Republicans, as well as those identified as Independents.

"Republicans need to nominate the strongest possible candidate in 2010 if it wants to elect a GOP attorney general. Mike Bishop begins the race with a 10% lead over a woman Democrat, while Bill Schuette is only tied with her," Steve Mitchell said recently regarding the results. "In a close race, having the lead Bishop has right now could be the difference between winning and losing next year."

Eternal General, Attorney General, and Detroit Corruption

Given the rampant corruption over many decades in the City of Detroit and the Detroit Public Schools, how is it that none of those hundreds of lawyers and investigators working for his Eternalness, Attorney General Frank Kelley, his more shapely successor (Granholm) or the current guy never, ever turned over a single rock down there and stomped on what scurried out?

Yeah, I know why - politics: No one in this state's bipartisan polical establishment wanted to uspet the cozy, inbred, rotten political apple cart, and threaten the shaky balance in the dysfunctional relationship between the city's government and the state's.

Plus, there were more important matters to crack down on than hundreds of millions of taxpayers dollars being looted and successive generations of inner city school children being destroyed - some boxes of Triscuit at the Wyoming Meijers didn't have price tags, and a few auto repair shops were bilking a few dozen consumers.

Funny how those particular "crime waves" always seemed to happen in even-years with no presidential election.

Except for the current guy that's all water over the dam, but someone should start attaching that asterix to these people's names:

*A.G. Kelley - Ignored rampant Detroit corruption for 37 years
*A.G. Granholm - Ignored rampant Detroit corruption for 4 years.
*A.G. Cox - Ignored rampant Detroit corruption for 8 years.
