  • 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.

    Fred Upton's team used RightMichigan.com to remind us what a great conservative he is. No problem.  In fact I think its important the folks on the right side of the spectrum feel they can post at will.  We don't have to agree with him, and frankly should treat him with the respect he deserves.  Sometimes it requires we chastise for his impudent posturing in the climate debate.  He is/was wrong, and we best let him know it.

    As a congressman, is he better than a possible Democrat alternative?  I would say.. yeah, but...

    but..  as a congressman, and member of Energy and Commerce, he operated as rogue and unpredictable as any of the left when seeking power and dominion over our very lives.

    And what has more strings attached to our daily bread than energy?  What is it that affects more jobs in manufacturing, and commerce from Michigan than the ability to procure cheap electricity, and fuel.  What is it that has more effect on Michigan agriculture than oil, gas, and natural gas.

    Maybe the sun.  But right now things are still pretty dark.

    In Saturday's Capitol confidential, Noted is the opposition to Upton being chosen for the energy seat:

    Congressman Fred Upton, R-St. Joseph, is an early favorite to chair the Energy and Commerce Committee, which will have a central role in the health care and climate change debates to come. However, his critics say that Upton is not fiscally conservative enough for the job and that a more principled candidate should be chosen instead.

    "[T]his would be a tone-deaf disaster if the Republican leadership lets Fred Upton ascend to the chairmanship of the House energy committee," said conservative talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh on his radio show. "No Republican complicit in nannyism, statism, can be rewarded this way."

    Among the bills Rep. Upton has supported is a controversial 2007 measure that led to a phase-out of the incandescent light bulb. It was co-sponsored with liberal Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif.

    Below the fold is yet another perspective on the light bulb ban. (From the same folks who brought us Friday's toon)
