  • 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

    ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version Undeterminable from .

    Does THIS:
    Moroun, 84, and Stamper, 62, were sent to jail Thursday as punishment for their company being found in contempt of court. Judge Prentis Edwards said Detroit International Bridge Co. repeatedly failed to follow his orders to work with the state of Michigan and get the Gateway Project done.

    have anything to do with THIS?
    The son of a Detroit judge who is set to impose contempt of court penalties against Ambassador Bridge owner Matty Moroun has been appointed to the bench by Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder.

    Somebody has some splainin to do.

    It likely won't be Mr Moroun.

    For the sake of integrity in the bench, perhaps in the executive branch in Lansing, I want to see a really good reason.  I am really seriously shaken by this if it is true.

    I know one fan of this site whom I hope would take a look at this.  I pray there is no quid pro quo, but for the life of me I cannot get over what would have to be the crappiest coincidence in Michigan political history.

    Sophistication

    The recent hubbub regarding Republican activist, and current Cheboygan County drain commissioner Dennis Lennox and the improper use use of taxpayer funds to provide postage for some campaign greetings sent out begs the clarity of both forethought and hindsight. Clarity, with regard to ALL elected or otherwise government created positions or offices where tax revenue is used to either push an agenda or reward support.  

    Is his act so very different than that of a grant provided for an interested concern that provides feet on the ground for the reelection efforts of a particular party?  Does it stand out so much as a payback to a particular industry that has a long time bias towards promoting "progressive" change?  What of serious policy decisions made on the people's behalf that carries untruths so that it may receive MORE of the peoples money in grants and support for  its scientific research?
