  • 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.

    Conservative Republicans, at least those over 25 years old, may remember one of President George W. Bush's biggest political blunders.  Her name was Harriet Miers.

    If you are not yet old enough to run for Congress, well, draw near.  I'll tell you about the tumultuous summer of 2005.  And I'll tell you why that matters to Rule-of-Law Michigan Republicans in 2012.

    8AM rules committee thing tomorrow.. Some are concerned it will be designed to favor particular candidates.  Hopefully on the up and up.  Chairing it will be Jason Allen.  Fair play gentlemen, is key to restoring trust within the party.  You cannot afford to blow this opportunity, and you may.

    Betty Weaver is on the Bus..  What I find to be a strange event, is the appearance of Elizabeth Weaver at our Traverse city Pick up Spot for the Glenn Beck Restoring Honor Rally Bus heading to DC.  Had the pleasure of an hour long conversation between GR and Okemos, where she boarded the bus to head to the event.  Apparently a big Beck fan.

    Robo Calls suck..  No fewer than 20 Robo calls a day as a reward for becoming a precinct delegate.  Bill Schuette, Michelle McManus and Mike Bishop topped the list. Question.. Do we have a THIRD alternative to the AG nod?

    Non identified emails, and fake websites set up to encourage voting by delegates.. THEMICHIGANREPORT.COM is as fake as reporting blogs go.  Anyone who cannot put their name or normally used moniker on their work is hardly worth paying attention to.  FAIL.

    More below..

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Weaver Sticks it to the Republicans.

    She wasn't going to be nominated by the Republicans at the convention as in years past.  She WAS going to legitimately compete as an independent.

    And now..  Betty Weaver has given a solid middle finger to the Republican party which supported her past ascension to the Michigan Supreme court. Weaver, who had filed as an Independent has apparently decided to forgo the cost of the race, and give a payback to the Republican party of Michigan that said it wouldn't nominate her as a result of her frequently siding with the more liberal justices too often..  She is quitting the bench.

    Liz Boyd, spokeswoman for Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm, said Weaver, 69, would formally tender her resignation later in the morning and appear with the governor at a news event at noon.

    The governor will appoint a replacement, and that action doesn't require the approval of the state Legislature, Boyd said.

    And she is giving the valuable title of "incumbent" to whomever Jennifer Granholm puts in her place.  It is a gift to the Ds, a snub to the Rs, and a position that requires no confirmation from the legislature apparently.

    wow.
