  • 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.

    For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

    ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

    The Michigan FairTax Association has challenged four congressional candidates to debate their claim that the FairTax is a new tax on top of all current taxes. Because the FairTax is a REPLACEMENT tax and not an additional tax the MI FairTax Association is calling on these candidates to defend their misleading and deceptive advertising.

    The Association issued the challenge via the following press release today:

    The Cox File

    Much has been said on this site (frequently on the front page) in strong support of Mike Cox, Michigan's current Attorney General and one of five Republican candidates for Governor.  If one of those politically disengaged folks that I talked about in an earlier essay were to view this site, such an individual might conclude that Mr. Cox were the leading candidate on the GOP side of the ballot this primary season.  A sound thought, perhaps, but also dead wrong; and a dangerous conclusion in any event.

    We here in the Grand Rapids field offices have some "undercover operatives" in Dem-friendly organizations in our area (Central-West Michigan).  According to what they're passing on to us, Michigan Democrat Party wants Cox as the GOP nominee.  That's because they have a fairly thick dossier of dirt on our current AG . . . and they will use that file to full advantage in the general.  In fact, Mike Cox is a potential Republican gubernatorial nominee that Brewer's crew is convinced that they can beat, because there are problems with the man some view as Michigan's answer to Rod Blagojevich that haven't surfaced much on RightMichigan.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Schuette Draws Dem Attacks Early

    A little insight to what is happening in the left right debate in the state of Michigan.

    No one can argue the successes of Bill Schuette in realizing a lead of opinion early on for the republican AG nod. For the Record, I have not endorsed Schuette, nor is this an endorsement.

    However, like our socialist counter parts, the Michigan Democrat party, I recognize Schuette is the guy to beat in the selection process, (he is carrying well over 100 law enforcement head endorsements currently) and frankly he is expected to make it to the November ballot easily.  The Dems knowing this however, have had to dig really deep to find anything negative to attack the would be candidate before the selection is made.  They would hope to skewer his bid in the short run so their candidate David Leyton has less trouble with the formidable Schuette organization.

    So they have decided to lay out some cash for ads..
