    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.

    Up From The Abyss - How does the Republican Party come back?

    (Promoted by Nick for the sheer effort of it alone!)

    Back in June of 2004, when I was taking class in Professional Ethics at Davenport University, I had to answer two questions (among eight that week) that caused me to reflect upon a man that I had not, until that time, realized had become a personal hero of mine.  One question required me to identify a person that I would choose to use as a role model to emulate; the other required me to evaluate the question of character vs. conduct in politics.  Now for those of you who were paying attention to the month and year, you may recall that this was about the time that Ronald Reagan's funeral ceremonies were being conducted.  It was in reflecting on those two questions - while watching all of the memorializing of President Reagan's life and career - that I came to the surprising realization of just how much of his way of doing things I had incorporated into my own personal style.

    In preparing for the Michigan Republican State Convention, to which KCRC has elected me as a delegate, I have been reviewing Ronald Reagan's speeches.  There are good archives at Federalism and the New Conservatism, Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Library, and the National Archives & Records Administration; he also has a really good Wikiquote page.  In doing this, I picked up on something that I guess I always knew was there, but I now saw more clearly than I had before.  In previous posts - specifically Recovering From the Wreckage, Random Thoughts, and KCRC Project 2010 Kickoff - I've stated a few arguments, mine or others', about what we need to do to rise as a party from the ashes left by the Obama-tsunami.  Consider this post a refinement of my original arguments.
