  • 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

    Don't forget the 1990s

    I just remembered.

    In 1998 or 1999, my employer decided it would jump on the latest politically correct bandwagon.  One possibly driven by the penchant of the chief executive of the United states to drive a hummer, or get one, or umm something.  The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa & Chippewa Indians, like every other larger corporate entity across the country felt they would take no chances on the burgeoning lawsuit activities related to male-female relationships in the workplace.

    Harassment classes commenced.

    Every one of the employees were paid and mandated to attend a seminar on how to handle our relations with other employees.  The hyper sensitive era was loaded by media and plaintiff attorney exploitation of casual discourse, sideways glances, and failures to hire unqualified and otherwise trouble prone employees.  All under the banner of harassment, lechery and abuse.

    That would be about the same time this event would have happened:

    "During Herman Cain's tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, at least two female employees complained to colleagues and senior association officials about inappropriate behavior by Cain, ultimately leaving their jobs at the trade group, multiple sources confirm to POLITICO  ...  In one case, POLITICO has seen documentation describing the allegations and showing that the restaurant association formally resolved the matter. Both women received separation packages that were in the five-figure range."

    Wow, in the five figures range!

    The women left the employ, and settled for what couldn't have been much more than the cost of hiring attorneys, and filing the complaint.  All in a time where many were cashing in on the newest fad of the day, an abuse of harassment policy for personal gain.

    While the news cycle titillates over this new and wonderful discovery in the past life of the current polling leader, I wonder how far they will go when it is found out that the cases were settled as a matter of cost balance.  How low will the opponents of this man of character delve to create a wedge between solid conservatives and his as yet growing candidacy? As this particular set of accusations is discovered to have no substance, what next will be the cheap shot on a real conservative?

    Perhaps a penchant for an extra lump of sugar in his coffee?

    Political correctness is alive and well in Janet Napolitano's America.

    ...'cause it's always the auburn haired white woman yelling "Alluha Akbar" habitually endangering American life's.

    One wonders who might be the mentally challenged individuals when seeing examples of this.

    Still revealing the exceptional judgment of government agents and policies within government programs, the TSA at Metro Airport continues its "Politically Correct" analysis of passengers, and their threat to air safety.

    All the while ignoring the cries of Aluah Akhbar from onlooking OTHER passengers who were casually waved through undoubtedly.
