  • 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.

    U.S. Rep. Dan Benishek speaks out against vague language in legislation

    By Rep. Dan Benishek

    Imagine government without responsibility toward its citizens -- let me give you a hint, it looks a lot like Syria's Bashar al-Assad regime.

    America is blessed with a Constitution that protects Americans so they are not afraid that each new leader will turn the country into a fascist nation. No matter how much anyone disagrees with a president's policies, we can take solace in the protections of the Constitution.

    The Constitution's authority is supreme and every piece of legislation must fit within the Constitution's limits.

    Roger that, Doc.  So far, we're on the same page.  Let's continue...

    Really Justin, Exactly What Would It Have Hurt You?

    There's some interesting company in this end of day non-binding vote.  muslim Rep. Ellison voted Obama, err, "Present" ...and all Michigan Democrats voted Yea?  Amazing.

    Amash, R-Cascade Township, was one of nine U.S. House members - and the only Republican - to vote against a non-binding resolution that affirmed "In God We Trust" as the national motto. The resolution passed on a 396-9 vote with two abstentions.

    "Displaying "In God We Trust" on public property is appropriate in some circumstances," Amash explained on his Facebook Page. "There is no need to push for the phrase to be on all federal, state, and local buildings."

    "The fear that unless "In God... We Trust" is displayed throughout the government, Americans will somehow lose their faith in God, is a dim view of the profound religious convictions many citizens have," said Amash, a first-term freshman.

    "The faith that inspired many of the Founders of this country--the faith I practice--is stronger than that," Amash wrote. "Trying to score political points with unnecessary resolutions should not be Congress's priority."

    Feh.  Grow a pair, kid.
