  • 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.

    EFM For Detroit - Racist?

    It needs one, and the sooner the better. But racist?

    Frankly, giving credit where due, Snyder and Dillon will be right on this one. The city that hemorrhages perpetually ought to have the benefit of the financial manager immediately.  Of course the looming probability it will happen has attracted the race baiters such as Al Sharpton along with congressman [READ THE BILL!?!] John Conyers.  Sharpton led the crowd protesting in front of Governor Rick Snyder's home. From the Examiner:

    "The men are using Martin Luther King Day for the protest in the style of the great civil rights leader. The law has been used by the current governor and his predecessor Jennifer Granholm to prevent civil bankruptcies in Benton Harbor, Flint, Pontiac, and Detroit Public Schools. The argument for the EFM is that it is the last chance to avoid a municipal default that would lower credit ratings for the state and local communities across the state."
    Sharpton and Conyers could care less about credit ratings, defaults etc. Its about them, and their own aspirations, using ignorance to advance their own notoriety.

    The message Sharpton was there to deliver?
    Detroit is Broke.
    Snyder's EFM is targeting Detroit.
    Blacks live in Detroit.
    Snyder is targeting Blacks.

    Keep putting the worm on it baiters. there might even be people who believe what you are doing is right. But no amount of marching in front of the guv's mansion will alter the reality of SE Michigan.

    Broke means broke.  If there is no money to pay the bills, the interest on the bills, or the accountants to fudge the books, its all over. Allowing the parasite known as Detroit to continue sucking any vibrancy out of the Michigan can happen no longer.  Conditions have been met, and under the new EFM law things must change.  Everything that happens in Detroit is NOT about race, though much might be about the corruption brought about in the name of affirmative advancement.
