  • 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.

    The Traverse City Neck Tie

    The record eagle wears its own tolerance of free speech and disagreement  like the dirty underpants of a failed drunken ship's captain.

    The editorial today equating the birthers to racists crosses the line  from responsible editorial opinion to unoriginal baiting and an attempt  to stifle discussion.  In its editorial "parsing the subtext of the  racist birther conspiracy" Traverse City Record Eagle editorial staff  has again used the "R" word to label those who hold a differing view  from their own.  The paper has called those who questioned the effort of  Obama to hide his birth certificate for the last three years, outright  racists.

    The editorial starts off:

    It's time to recognize the "birther" conspiracy wingnuts for what they are.
    They're racists.
    There is no other explanation for the circus sideshow that's been going on since the inception of the Obama administration.

    The start of this editorial is mild compared to the continuing ignorant vitriol designed to merely stifle free speech and offer an extreme leftist worldview of conservatives and those who's only crime is to want to verify that the man who was elected president in 2008 is actually legal to occupy that office.  Continuing:
    The birthers ... just can't stand the fact that a man  born to a white mother and a black father could ever succeed ...After  all black people - even those of mixed race - are lazy and dumb, goes the real birther subtext.
    ...
    Regardless of the code words, its all about race. particularly about the  race of one man - the sitting president of the united states.

    ... enough is enough. It's time for the birthers like Trump and Taitz  and their Tea Party sympathizers - and yes even their cowardly fellow  travelers in the party of Lincoln and Fox News - to shut up and slither  away.


    Absolutely incredible.
