  • 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.

    Patterson Makes Obamacare Palatable, Screws Taxpayers

    What an Executive wagon-circling doozy floated this morning in The News.

    Across the nation, the fees and taxes imposed next year through the Affordable Care Act will generate about $20 billion, based on Joint Committee on Taxation estimates, and could affect nearly 60 percent of Americans who receive insurance through their workplace.

    It's uncertain how many employees could pay the higher fees and taxes because employers are deciding whether to absorb the cost or pass along all or part of it. For example, Oakland County government decided to pick up the tab - more than $600,000 - for its workers. Macomb and Wayne county officials could not be reached about their plans.

    REST

    As the old saying goes - No pain, No ga, well, in Brooksie's bureaucratic fiefdom... no pain!  Pay up, taxpayers suckers.

    With Republicans like in Oakland County, Randy Richardville, Jase Bolger, and Snyder/Calley, who needs Lon Johnson and Julianna Smoot?

    The Daily Dillon

    This is a sorta fun development for Conservatives watching what the Snyder administration has placed into its own lap.  Remember what Terry Stanton (same office of Amy Hichez) stated about our Treasury Dept., just yesterday?

    "Any personal issues he is working through have not, in any way, affected his performance as State Treasurer."

    Pure Bee-esS.  Meet current Treasury Department "Executive Assistant," and former Dillon House staffer ($56,000.00), Amy U. Hichez.

    State Treasurer Andy Dillon's secretary sued his ex-wife for defamation Wednesday for claiming she had an affair with her boss.

    In a lawsuit filed in Wayne County Circuit Court, Amy U. Hichez denied having an affair with Andy Dillon - allegations Carol Owens-Dillon publicly leveled in a July 7 posting on her Facebook page.
    ....

    Owens-Dillon stood by the allegations Wednesday.

    "I'm surprised she is doing this because she will be putting her boss negatively in the press and I'm quite sure he doesn't need that," Owens-Dillon said in a statement to The News.

    Indeed.  What further defamation is possible with those who sit in government with Andy and his buddy, Miles Handy?  Yet, much like Hillary Clinton, and Huma Abedin, the slovenly attired self-invented Nerd persona is going to stand by his man.  Frillant move for the Executive branch of state government that is the flagship of the MI-GOP.

    That down-ticket vote for "Team R" will suffer in 2014.  That is just a 'No boundaries' Rick Michigan, enabling - fact.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Because Leopards Change Their Spots

    Germans have the coolest words for such things involving the Rick Snyder experiment.  For example, take the self-invented Nerd persona's selection for state Treasurer.

    Pure Schadenfreude.

    Dillon has acknowledged a bout with alcoholism while being the governor's point man for handling financially distressed cities and school districts.

    But now the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office is considering a domestic assault charge against Dillon stemming from a July 13 confrontation with his ex-wife, Carol Owens-Dillon, at their Redford Township home.

    Dillon, a former Democratic speaker of the state House of Representatives, and the Snyder administration are not answering questions about his alleged actions.

    "We do not believe it is appropriate to respond to speculation," Snyder spokesman Dave Murray said Tuesday in a statement. "Gov. Snyder believes Treasurer Dillon is doing a good job on behalf of the people of Michigan."

    Again, zero transparency from Rick Snyder.  Sure Dave Murray, we little people "believe" you too.  Just try boozing as a "point man" in the Private Sector, and see how long it takes to be shown the door.  And, this is a so-called Executive's decision?  Amazing.  Fact remains that Rick Snyder owns that appointment, and isn't man enough to deal with his can of worms - but, he'll have to before long.  There's more...

    "Treasurer Dillon is in the office and on the job every day, working diligently as always for the people of the State of Michigan," spokesman Terry Stanton said in an email. "Any personal issues he is working through have not, in any way, affected his performance as State Treasurer."

    12 years of taxpayer funded professional turd polishing just can't be wrong, yes?  Survey says...

    A Wayne County Family Court judge has issued a mutual restraining order against Dillon and his ex-wife after they filed competing personal protection orders against each other.

    The acrimony stems from a July 13 incident at the Dillon residence in Redford Township where Carol Owens-Dillon alleges her ex-husband hired a tow truck driver to break into a vehicle she was driving that contained her divorce files. In court records, Owens-Dillon claims she had "racially-charged text messages" in the file that she intended to deliver to Snyder.

    D'oh!  Really.  Who could've foreseen the years of dysfunction that Andy Dillon, would bring to an alleged Republican administration?  Hmmm, I wonder...

    This has been a fun piece of MDP schadenfreude I've been keeping an eye on over at a Lefty blog, which there's no real good reason to name, however, this is the latest mLive newsish meat and potatoes.

    First Ward Councilwoman Jody Washington, who first brought the matter before the council two weeks ago, presented the resolution for passage at Monday's regular meeting but later pulled it before a vote was taken due to what she termed a "surprise announcement" from Bernero's executive assistant, Randy Hannan.
    ....

    "I absolutely never intended to embarrass anybody...that's what you're trying to say," said Washington, who often butts heads with Bernero. [snip]

    But, of course, Eric Jody

    Deep Thoughts with John Conyers

    Federal inmate No. 43693-039 Monica Conyers husband on the Patriot Act.

    Shortly after the surveillance was revealed, Rep. John Conyers, the panel's ranking Democrat, said he feared "that we are on the verge of becoming a surveillance state."

    "Over the past decade - under the leadership of four chairman with diverse political views - the members of this committee have vigorously debated the proper balance between our safety and our constitutional right to privacy," Conyers said in remarks prepared for Wednesday's hearing. "We never - at any point during this debate - approved the type of unchecked, sweeping surveillance of United States citizens employed by our government in the name of fighting the war on terrorism."

    Because, Comrade Johnny always reads EVERY word...

    Sometimes, it is just too funny not to laugh at Detoilet/Downriver voters.

    The Preezy of the United Steezy want's you to get your corrupt Wayne Co buffoon under control before he costs Debbie Dingell, a Senate election.  Remember Lon, Debbie and Bob King pulled a lot of strings to place you where you're at as MDP chair.

    C'mon, a former Wayne Co Sheriff (1983-2000) needing multiple drivers under the guise of "personal protection"?  Hackel doesn't.  Really Ficano, exactly how dumb do you think everyone who is watching you could be?

    The Preezy of the United Steezy want's you to get your CD-5 buffoon under control.

    At a closed-door meeting between President Barack Obama and House Democrats, Kildee introduced himself as a freshman, to which Obama said, "Wow, you're really classing up the place then."

    Kildee then proceeded to ask what one person described as a somewhat "long-winded" question about the importance of creating jobs for his economically distraught district.

    "I can tell you're a freshman because you didn't pay much attention to the State of the Union," Obama joked. "I talked about that."

    ....

    Actually, though, the joke was on Obama:  REST HERE

    Oops.

    McNamara Crony Testing Waters if Carl Levin Drops Out

    Who is this paleface Irish turd trying to fool?  Try remembering July 27, 2004

    If approved by U.S. District Judge Paul Borman, McCann, of Livonia, faces six to 12 months in prison and up to a $20,000 fine.

    McCann was indicted in November on charges of improperly using a federal grant to pay two interns to secretly build a database of Democratic Party donors. They performed an estimated 758 hours of political work while on the county's payroll in 2001, the county contended.

    In November 2002, the FBI and Michigan State Police seized thousands of documents from McNamara's county office and the campaign office of McCann's former boss, then-Wayne County Prosecutor Michael Duggan, in a raid. Duggan is now head of the Detroit Medical Center.

    Nice of then AG Granholm, to stall for her corrupt Wayne County friends, yes?
