  • 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.

    Peters Repeated The Lie

    Seriously, ANYONE could win Michigan's  US Senate seat being vacated by Carl Levin.

    At least if Gary Peters is all the Democrat party has to offer. The RNC has targeted a number of politicians who parroted the Obama lie:"You can keep it .." in the run up to passage of the ACA.  They will be running a series of ads pointing out the many times each of these folks opened their pieholes to mislead constituents in this regard. The Michigan ads will initially be radio spots like this one (modified for Peter's name used instead) saying:

    "So what's your New Year's resolution? Here's one you can keep. Resolve to keep [Senator/Representative] honest in 2014.

    President Obama and [Senator/Representative] said if you like your insurance plan you can keep it under ObamaCare. They lied to you. Big time. PolitiFact called that the "lie of the year."

    Millions will lose their insurance--and their doctors.

    2014 is your chance to hold [Senator/Representative] accountable. Tell him this is one New Year's resolution you're sticking to.

    The Republican National Committee paid for and is responsible for the content of this advertising. GOP.com"

    And its based in fact.

    From the Ivory Tower in 2009:

    " .. Illegal immigrants won't be covered, Peters said. Medicare benefits won't change, and will include no co-pays for preventative care and a reduction in drug costs. And Congress isn't being treated any differently than anyone else who has employer-covered insurance, Peters said.

    "If you're covered and you like your insurance, you can keep it," he said. "

    You know, it seems as if those might just have been 'talking points' to keep the natives from getting too restless about the takeover of a quarter of the economy. No, really!

    Though this is very serious, It still reminds me of a joke.

    Go below the fold and I will pass it along.

    Nothing To Be Ashamed Of

    While Michigan gets a stale store bought pizza generic "happy Holidays", the lucky folks in Arizona get the Buddy's Pizza of Yore, Real Deal.

    A 'holiday' message sent from Jan Brewer to Arizonans:

    "Merry Christmas!

    When I first became Governor, I issued an Executive Order that encourages the celebration of Christmas and Hanukkah and prohibits any censorship of these religious holidays. I encourage you to read the Executive Order here.

    As you may know, elected officials throughout our country have attempted to strip both Christmas and Hanukkah of their meaning. Some officials even prohibited government employees from placing religious items of celebration at their desks, renamed Christmas trees as "holiday" trees, and renamed Menorahs as "candlesticks."

    As Governor, I call things what they are...a Christmas Tree and a Menorah... and will gladly allow both Christmas and Hanukkah to be celebrated at the State Capitol. I encourage my colleagues and fellow elected officials to do the same.

    Again, Merry Christmas to you and your family!

    May God bless you, your home, the State of Arizona and the United States of America.

    Sincerely,

    Jan

    P.S.  If you'd like, leave me a Christmas greeting on my Facebook.

    Yup.

    Now THAT is leadership.

    And how appropriate is that "Rosie the riveter" pose for this Michigan blog post?

    I totally get the current political landscape within the MIaGoPC'd, and the androgynous couple below is pandering to the GLAAD crowd like they think they're slick CEO's shooting fish in a Cracker Barrel but, "happy holidays"?

    Something To Rally Around

    Tags: Michigan, State Senate, SB120, SB121, SB423, Constitution, Founding Documents, Education (all tags)

    The Michigan state house education committee has received three bills worth checking out.

    Each one promoting a better understanding of the history of our country and the reasons for its founding.

    • SB121 essentially encourages schools to set aside one week a year where the students are actually exposed to the founding documents, not as tangential history, but why the compact and the constitution was developed.
    • SB120 removes the perceived shackles placed on public instruction with regard to the readings of historic records.  Heaven forbid (pun intended) that johnny hears the word God when a reading of the federalist papers, proclamations, etc.
    • SB423 Encourages the schools to provide instruction focusing on the principles of the Declaration of Independence (self evident truths), the US Constitution (our compact), and the Michigan State Constitution. It also requires the state Board of Education to update curriculum and testing standards to cover these subjects.

    Hopefully not too late, as much of the indoctrinated are already teaching.

    But we applaud such measures as worthy and restorative for our state and country.

    Wrong Again

    He picked the wrong side of the argument once again.

    Saul Anuzis former RNC committeeman still has it in for the man who replaced him, OR he really does like promotion of homosexuality, and that which it carries in its side car.  Either way, he has made his bed with Dennis Lennox, and other young progressives in the party who wish to pander to the baser instincts of the forbidden fruits.

    But ignoring the results of such pandering and adjustment of social conscience to the legal protections we afford our youth is some bad Juju.  Just ask prosecutors in Florida:

    "The case involves Kaitlyn Ashley Hunt, an 18-year-old in Sebastian, Florida, who was arrested in February after admitting that she had a lesbian affair with a 14-year high-school freshman. .. It is a felony in Florida to have sex with 14-year-olds. Hunt was expelled from Sebastian High School -- where she and the younger girl had sex in a restroom stall -- and charged with two counts of "felony lewd and lascivious battery on a child." The charges could put Hunt in prison for up to 15 years.  ..

    Using the slogan "Stop the Hate, Free Kate" ..

    Portraying Hunt as the victim of prejudice, her supporters claim she was only prosecuted because she is homosexual and because the parents of the unnamed 14-year-old are "bigoted religious zealots," as Hunt's mother said in a poorly written Facebook post. The apparent public-relations strategy was described by Matthew Philbin of Newsbusters: "If you can play the gay card, you immediately trigger knee-jerk support from the liberal media and homosexual activists anxious to topple any and all rules regarding sex."

    Rules, right?

    Rules mean NOTHING when reason is toppled. In the above case, we see the natural progress of 'political correctness.'

    And Saul's effort to vilify his esteemed replacement relies on just that method.  By contextually abusing comments of Ronald Reagan, and confusing actual bigotry with a conscious  disassociation to unhealthy lifestyles, he is solidifying his support for unhealthy, and nontraditional physical relationships.

    Go below the fold.

    The Arcane Voice of Kerry '04 Granholm '06 and Obama '08 Doth Saith

    The ongoing bleat from the lunatic of many convictions, presented without further delay, the entrenched homophile Twitiot.

    Former #Michigan Gov. William Milliken joins Gov. @OneToughNerd in condemning #RNC's Dave Agema record-eagle.com/opinion/x12212... #MIGOP #GOP #MIGov

    Some reminders of history, lest they be repeated, obviously need reflection:

    1969-1982:  William G. Milliken.  Thirteen years in Office.  Environmental extremist.  Chummy chum chum's with perhaps the most corrupt Mayor of Detroit ever.  But, it was smart of 'ol milquetoast Willy, that was his voting base.  Kerry backer... Granholm backer... Obama backer... As Paul Ryan would say about Newt Gingrich, "With friends like him..."  How this twaddling old tool still keeps calling himself a Republican is beyond disgusting.

    Helen Milliken a proud eugenicist?  You betchya!  Not supposed to mention such atrocities... Shhhhhhhhh!  And, how can one forget...

    Omitted: Made Jim Blanchard Look Appealing to Voters

    Now, wayward, petty, and pedantic child, you carry on with that polarizing the MI-GOP into obsolescence.

    I stand with Dave.

    To Serve....

    According to ABC-7 Action News, witnesses reported that as the dog cowered against the house, police kept shooting. If this is indeed true, it is hard to imagine how the excuse of "fearing for their lives" could have been at play at any point after the dog retreated or "cowered" next to the house.

    It took the mouthbreathers 8 shots.  The good Lawful folk in Michigan, should take note of that.
