  • 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 .

    They don't like to be called "thugs."

    How about we call some of them "convicts"?

    Anyhow.. Some random phone videos..

    Jennifer Granholm was a lot of things, but a tax cutter? No.  Neither was she effective at blowing us away in a good sense in the 5 years she had pledged to do.

    Her economic development sense is not only deficient, but dangerous if anyone takes her seriously.  Her desperation to be seen as better than she was showed up as a comment on a blog as referenced by the CapCon story linked above.  

    That comment? It was a reply to another knucklehead who cherry picked positive numbers from a recent fiscal presentation by the Senate Fiscal Agency. Those numbers of course without the benefit of comparative perspective or further analysis. Analysis that demonstrates even more succinctly the total failure that was a near decade of governor Jennifer Granholm. The couple of items to note being stated this way:

    "The facts as laid out in the SFA report are the complete opposite. An era of remarkable - almost certainly unprecedented - spending restraint. State spending from all state resource in FY2002 (the Engler Administration's last year) was $26.087 billion. In FY2011 (the last Granholm Administration budget) it was $26.050 billion. For the general fund (what everyone focuses on) it went from $9.189 billion to $8.280 billion. Nearly a billion dollar reduction. And for school aid from $11.220 billion to $10.776 billion."

    And he called it restraint. What it truly is should be seen as more of a problem.

    In 2003, there was a roughly $12 Billion FEDERAL outlay for Michigan expenditures.  In fiscal year 2008-2009 it was about $22 Billion, and 2009-2010 (Granholm's last budget) it was $20 Billion.

    This is not the effect of restraint, but rather the sellout of Michigan into a dependency on more federal support.

    But wait there is more!! (below)
