  • 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

    I have yet to figure out how/if Oakland Co plans to spin their way out of not issuing Patterson, and his chauffeur, a retired double-dipping State Trooper tickets for not wearing their seat belts, via The Detroit News

    The Oakland County executive and the two drivers involved weren't wearing seat belts, police said Monday.
    ....

    No one has been charged in the crash, which is under investigation, Auburn Hills police said. Patterson's eastbound vehicle entered the intersection of Opdyke with a green traffic signal, and the Passat was westbound on Walton turning on to southbound Opdyke with a flashing yellow signal.

    "It appears the driver of the Volkswagen failed to yield the right of way, causing the crash," said Auburn Hills Police Deputy Director Thomas Hardesty in a news release Monday.

    "Due to the extent of injuries to persons involved in the crash, this case will be presented to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office when the investigation is complete," according to a news release. "No decision will be made on the issuance of citations until after the case is reviewed by the prosecutor."

    Patterson was riding in the front seat of the car, Auburn Hills police have said. Michigan law requires drivers and front-seat passengers to wear seat belts. Violators could face traffic citations.

    Could face traffic citation?  WTF?  It's either Rule of Law, or call the whole system in Oakland Co a Wild West free for all.  At this point, all I know is that if I were the driver of the Passat, I'd be on the horn with one of the legalese merchants that's well versed in modified comparative negligence seeing that the prosecutor and the police involved still have their collective thumb up their ass on a cut-n-dry seat belt matter involving their Dear Leader.

    Hmmm, as an aside let's see now...  pushing the DIA Tax .. targeting the only Republican on the CD-11 ballot with a costly primary, Big Government "write-in" smearing crony...

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Nancy Cassis to Tea Party: "Drop Dead!"

    The star-chamber backed candidate in the CD-11 race made some very interesting comments yesterday on OTR regarding her opponent's supporters, her opponent and a rather interesting hint at her future campaign strategy after she loses the primary and "special election".

    Talk about contrasting candidates.

    I highly recommend cracking open a case of Monster Heavy Metal before watching. You'll need it way before this clip ends.

    Seriously, you need notes to tell people about YOUR OWN RECORD?

    Now, contrast the above to this:

    No wonder Brooks and the blue-bloods are running scared.

    Putting The Screws To The Taxpayers

    Just so that we can continue to show Nancy Cassis a little attention here on RightMichigan, let me draw your attention to a little scheme to put taxpayers on the hook for boneheaded decisions made by their local governments, specifically with regard to labor agreements.

    Facts are quite stubborn things, really.  As I've mentioned elsewhere on this site, the pesky thing about having a publicly available record is that, sooner or later, you're going to get called on it.  Getting called on her record is exactly what happened last night to Nancy Cassis at the monthly Rattle With Us meeting in Plymouth.

    Joshua, Kevin, Huey Long's son, and A Time For Choosing

    Tags: EITC Free Lunch, Nancy Cassis, L. Brooks Patterson, 11th District Republican Star Chamber, Write-in Campaign, August 2012 Primary, Oakland County, Wayne County, Republican kakistocracy, Deceitful Lefty twits on Twitter (all tags)

    Not sure if any pay much notice to the Hash Tag ticker off to the left here on RightMichigan.com, but I did get a decent giggle this morning from our two newest Lefty trolls exposing their lack of knowledge by dimwittedly repeating the DNC lapdog media talking points in attempts to get a dig in on our good friend, KG.

    OK, I present: Exhibit A, which spreading bogus information should be bad enough considering he's a Lefty Progress Michigan digital media "operative".  Ooooo, spooky.  Now, for a second dose of well deserved butt-hurt I present Joshua's buddy as Exhibit B, which really goes to illustrate what mindless, regurgitating lemmings those on the Left truly are.  Reagan invented the EITC?  #FAIL.  It was Lefty Democrat Senators Russell Long and Lloyd Bentsen who rammed through that disgusting wage subsidy for the "working poor" into 1975 tax code.  Even a simple search on IRS.gov clearly states that.  Attributing the EITC to Ford, or that Big Government Moderate idiot Nixon who inspired the Negative Income Tax scheme is fair game as far as I'm concerned.  But, hanging the creation of the "free lunch" EITC on Reagan?  No.  That is a lie.

    Progressives.  For those that are unaware, Russell Long's father, Huey Long, was the original "wealth redistribution" and "tax the rich" Kingfish from Louisiana way before our two Twitter trolls or their Obamessiah were an itch in their papa's pants.  

    Yet, it is folk on the Left today like Joshua, and Kevin, who dare call themselves something with the word progress in it?  Another #FAIL.  When has The Left ever changed?  They are Socialists, and dimwit ones at that.

    A Time For Choosing.

    "We have so many people who can't see a fat man standing beside a thin one without coming to the conclusion the fat man got that way by taking advantage of the thin one. So they're going to solve all the problems of human misery through government and government planning."

    That 1964 Speech sure makes as much sense today as it did then.  Nancy Classless is as wrong to hand out "free lunch" EITC in Michigan, as Gerald Ford was on March 29, 1975.  

    "Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

    Thanks for invoking Reagan, Joshua.  I'm nowhere near as polite as Ronald was, nor do I pretend to be.  You two are morons.

    So what does supporting the will of the 11th District Republican Leadership give you?

    "About 25 Wayne and Oakland County GOP leaders and elected officials huddled Wednesday at the Suburban Collection Showplace to coalesce around one candidate. About 11 members reunited Thursday at a hotel to interview the possible write-in candidates the party could get behind, Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson said."

    ...

    "The confab was necessary, Patterson said, because the party can't get behind Bentivolio, the Republican who made the Aug. 7 primary ballot. Bentivolio raises reindeer and launched his candidacy to challenge McCotter on issues like government spending and borrowing.

    "While there is an individual on the ballot, the people deserve a choice, and that shouldn't be an accidental choice," Cassis said."


    from The Detroit News - June 7, 2012.

    Wow!  

    No, scratch that.

     "Wow!" Doesn't even begin to describe the level of hubris and arrogance displayed by the Republican kakistocracy on this one.

    These people know what running for office entails.

    They know how, where, and most importantly, when the process takes place.

    To even imply that they couldn't have gotten involved in the race simply reeks of gross competence for a person of their station.

    And on top of that; they felt the "need" for multiple, secret close door meetings.

    And only one member had the integrity to step forward and actually admit that they were actually there.

    What's even worse yet?


    "Patterson said Bentivolio's priorities were too extreme for him to accept."
    - The Detroit Free Press, June 7, 2012

    And this is compared to...
