  • 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 .

    I hope everyone is enjoying their end of the summer activities, and celebrating the actual achievements of workers (not labor unions)on this labor day weekend.

    I present to you a compelling piece I found by Gary Glenn on the choices available to Michiganders as we look to the next year of selecting our US Senate Candidate, a primary race of which Glenn is a part. It highlights differences between Hoekstra and Glenn on issues that should be important to not only conservatives but even those moderates within the Republican party of Michigan.

    Glenn, one of several candidates looking to be the challenger to Stabenow in 2012 tends to speak to the Tea Party concerns more clearly in my opinion than Pete Hoekstra, and possibly one or two others vying for the same chance.  In fact the only candidates who come close (as I have observed during speeches and presentations) would be Roscommon businessman Peter Konetchy, and former Kent County Probate Judge Randy Hekman.   I have not yet had the opportunity to vett Clark Durant, who is being heavily pushed by National Popular Vote advocate Saul Anuzis.

    I should note that candidates who wish to air their opinions here are more than welcome to publish at will, subject to reformatting to fit the front page.

    Glenn's piece is below the line.

    Really Expensive Wheelbarrows

    Debt.

    What better way to saddle those who have little means, than with a higher cost of living. When the United States Government prints that money to pay the bills, and drives inflation through the roof.

    Think not? Its happened before.

    If it weren't for modernization and efficiency hiding the termites which are eroding our financial base, the "come to Jesus moment" would have happened already. Farming efficiency has kept us fed (and it has also been subsidized), and mechanical improvements have allowed more product to be built with less labor cost. Energy as well has played into it, as it has been cheap and plentiful.

    These things would under ideal conditions, make us ALL wealthy in consumables and lifestyle, yet because of the inflationary effect of increasing debt and fewer actual PRODUCERS of wealth they remain subdued as merely a balancing agent. The neutralization of poor fiscal policy cannot go on forever though. Adding to this, the absence of energy policy that would help this country remain a wealth producer.

    For my current argument, there are two types of debt; 1. Stated, and 2. Liability.

    Michigan for example, cannot spend more than it takes in. Its the law. It cannot borrow money that is not immediately payable through the budget cycle. If it did, then Michiganders would be stuck with interest payments, yada. There are tricks used to get around this, but unlike the Fed it cannot hold a negative balance year after year.

    The News: President Obama made the following statement at a press conference in Turkey,

    "One of the great strengths of the United States is ... although we have a very large Christian population -- we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values." [1]
