  • 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.

    "I looked up my family tree and found three dogs using it" - Rodney Dangerfield

    Here we go again in Michigan.

    Ronna Romney McDaniel, granddaughter of former Michigan Gov. George Romney, said she's "looking at" a Republican run for Senate after Democrat Carl Levin announced he's not going to seek re-election. She was an active campaigner for her uncle Mitt Romney last year.

    "It's something I'm going to consider (after) what I saw around the state with how frustrated people were with what's happening in D.C.," Romney McDaniel, 39, told The Detroit News Tuesday night. "Maybe this is a time where we can bring a new voice and get a Republican senator from our state."

    What's happening in DC?  Career hack politicos getting by, or surviving on last name recognition, and a disinterested electorate because we know both sides of the Ruling Class are lying to us.  

    Her father, Scott Romney, Mitt's older brother, told The News that after initially considering a run he has decided against a bid for the seat held for more than three decades by Levin, D-Detroit.

    "I decided it just wasn't right for me at this time," Scott Romney [at age 71] said.

    Instead, he phoned his daughter Tuesday to urge her to consider.

    Wait for it...  {yawn}

    Is this the 52-48 ShowStak Brand rearing its ugly head?  Maybe the CD-11 Star Chamber making their move, again?  Frankly, I could care less about either - MiGOP record of Romney failure: Lenore (1970), Ronna née Rakolta (94 & 96), G. Scott (AG '98), and Willard (08 & 12).  Some folks just can't seem to take a hint.   Sure, Ronna Romney McDaniel (I hate that weird progressive last name thing) may be a nice person, but is one whose only accomplishments to date is being a Northville mother of 2, and managing her uncle's campaign that abandoned Michigan, but equipped with genitalia for the Politically Correct bogus War on Wimmin's.

    Between the Bush dynasty, and Romney wannabes, the Team R interlopers are beginning to make the Kennedy clan look like pikers among the last name entitlement leeches.

    Good luck with that.

    As in, oldtimer magic underpants.

    The older brother of presidential candidate Mitt Romney is interested in running for the Michigan Senate seat being vacated by Carl Levin in 2014.

    A state GOP official said Friday that Scott Romney, 71, is exploring his options with potential supporters. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly about specific candidates.

    An attorney, Scott Romney lost the 1998 nomination for attorney general at the Michigan Republican Party's convention. One of his ex-wives, Ronna, ran for the Senate in 1996 but lost to Levin.

    Just like that damn Bush dynasty with Jeb now flitting about, these clowns living on last name entitlement just can't take a hint.  Romney = Still trying in Michigan ever since daddy George created the State Income Tax

    Um, no.  No to everything seen the above.

    It has to be Michigan...

    Schostak, and Anuzis, must've done the "gazintas" for the vote count.  Then again, could it have been the creepy looking bur head thing in coke bottle glasses that did the count?

    Oh! Ya... act like a man, and wear a tie ya slovenly attired liberal Ann Arbor, weenie.

    Following The Paper Trail and Noticing The Missing Links

    So, is it a 274 delegate margin, a 233 delegate margin, a 173 delegate margin, or a 116 delegate margin currently separating Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum?  How deeply is Newt Gingrich locked into third place?  And if Ron Paul's been mathematically eliminated from a statistically certain pre-convention majority, then why is he still campaigning?  We know the answer to the third question (at least we think we do), but those first two aren't mere academic questions, and answering them might help in understanding why Anuzis and his Backroom Band are sticking to the meme that Romney is supposed to get both of Michigan's at-large delegates to this summer's national convention . . . in spite of all the verifiable evidence otherwise.

    And while we're at it, we're going to connect a few dots and see what we see.

    This Will Not Be Quietly Swept Under The Rug

    Last week, the Michigan "Dele-Gate" Fiasco was a big deal.  A whole bunch of media outlets, both in-state and nationally, had something to say about it.  Tony Roza over at The Green Papers is also keeping track of this mess, though for now he has the official delegate count consistent with last week's backroom banditry.  But funny things tend to happen over the weekend with media stories.  If there isn't someone actually pushing the narrative, then the story tends to die off.  And when someone who's actively involved in burying the truth is controlling the narrative . . . well, that's probably cause for concern.

    A Tale Of Two Memos

    I grew up in rural northeast Michigan (Iosco County to be precise).  I can tell you as a certainty gained from hard experience that I know manure when I smell it.  So when I say that the stench arising from the sequence of high-profile republican primary screwups smells like a bathtub-sized crock of elephant exhaust . . . well, I've got a usable reference point.

    Because The Narrative Cannot Survive A Rewrite


    By Kevin Rex Heine, Section News
    Posted on Thu Mar 01, 2012 at 04:35:21 PM EST

    Yesterday, I wrote that Mitt Romney's campaign leadership in Michigan was doing their damnedest to spin Michigan's Presidential Primary results into a win for "Michigan's Native Son."  If they could successfully do so, then it would preserve their desired narrative that the favorite son of a popular governor had defeated an insurrection in his own backyard, and would now heroically go forward and accomplish that which his father was unable to do a generation ago.

    However, facts are stubborn things.  As the day wore on, the truth started to make its way to the beltway media that the real result of the Michigan Primary is an exact split of the delegation (which, according to Tony Roza over at The Green Papers, would have been the result even if we hadn't been penalized).  Since such an outcome might have derailed the Romney coronation train, something had to be done.  At the eleventh hour, something was done.
