  • 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.

    With Friends Like Finley, Who Needs Mark Brewer?

    Amazing.  I honestly believe Detroit has finally lost what passes for the last standing paper with a Conservative slant to it.  This past weekend Nolan Finley, took it upon himself to unleash a can of cognitive dissonance RINO whoop-ass on the Michigan Republican Legislature.

    But voters didn't give Republicans a mandate to drag the state to the far right on contentious social issues.

    And yet last week, the Legislature sent to the governor a bill banning public employers from offering domestic partner benefits. It strips local communities and school districts of the right to shape benefit packages that make sense for their workers, and places Michigan outside the mainstream of current employment practices.

    Exactly what "mainstream" would Mr. Finley be referring to?  Governor Moonbeams' bankrupt California?  Harry Reids' foreclosure epicenter Nevada?  Stanley Ann Dunhams' Hawaii?  C'mon Nolan, there are only 7 other Democratic Party controlled states left to hold up for your "mainstream" meme.  Mr. Finley, should also note the State of Wisconsin is smack in the face of his next double-down on the Michigan Legislature.

    More below.

    Washington is in trouble.

    I don't mean a little trouble like presidential scandals, bureaucratic incompetence or the diplomatic faux pas caused by forgetting the birthday of the newest leader of Elbonia.

    No, I mean a financial time-bomb in the $14.2-trillion dollar range and rising (Thanks GOP for your outstanding financial stewardship with the CR-extension, but I digress).

    We need to cut spending, like, yesterday.

    The DNC proposed something in the neighborhood of $10-billion. The GOP $100-billion.

    In light of the fiscal collapse coming our way, that's literally shooting a BB gun at a freight train.

    It's a shame the GOP they didn't take a cue from within their own ranks. Rep Bachmann was able to find $105-billion secretly buried in Obamacare. Sen. Colburn found $200-billion in redundant federal agencies. And Sen. Paul came up with half a trillion dollars in cuts.

    Of course, with all of the talk about cuts, you'll be hearing more and more from those who made a career on the public teat.

    So what does this have to do with The Detroit News Editor Nolan Finley?
