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

Ya, that's a headline you won't be reading in the news, nor ever overhear the GoverNerd discussing in Lansing. But, it accurately is fact that Magna, founded by a narcissistic liberal Canadian billionaire (Think their version of a poor man's Donald Trump who ran for Prime Minister with similar disastrous results) had their Washington lobbyist for things such as expanding union labor Card Check legislation, Corporate Tax Credits and Loopholes lining Magna Canuck pockets with U.S. taxpayer money through Chevy Volt like subsidies, just declare economic war on an American city.

Frank W. Ervin III, manager of government affairs for Magna International Inc., made the comment in an email Tuesday to the president of the Troy Chamber of Commerce, Michele Hodges. In the private message to Hodges, Ervin called the city's leaders "narrow-minded when it comes to the future of Troy and the future of Southeastern Michigan" for rejecting $8.4 million in federal aid.
In the email, Ervin thanked the chamber president for her efforts to win approval for the transit center and said he plans to draft a memo to all Magna group presidents and corporate executives "strongly recommending" that the automotive supplier "no longer consider the City of Troy for future site considerations, expansions or new job creation."

Can you get over the set on this guy? Make no mistake about it, Frank Ervin is the Van Jones of the Magna Internationals' wealth redistribution GreenTard movement. It becomes difficult to ignore that Canadian Magna, which surprise surprise, also owns BluWav, really hasn't left any U.S. taxpayer subsidy unturned. TEA folk around the state might want to sharpen up and take note of their surroundings. They've been way too soft on letting such things happening right under their noses go undetected, and let go on without objection.

Oh, and the GoverNerd?

Here's a great thing from the inbox to make your morning rosy.

Michigan Senate Revives Corporate Welfare Scheme Governor Vowed to End
Bill authorizes $50 million from state for another electric car project

So, what happens with the Senates handout of $50 million in Michigan taxpayer money to Dow Chem partnered offshoot LLC's, now sits in the House Commerce Committee, or more pointedly, in its Chair, Rep. Wayne A. Schmidt's lap. After witnessing the stellar job that Chair Wayne Schmidt has done with sitting on HB 4024 and HB 4026 for the past 11 months, what could possibly go wrong?

So, Tough Nerd, you got that veto pen of yours ready?

President Obama has just confirmed that the DC earthquake occurred on a rare and obscure fault line, apparently known as "Bush's Fault".

The President also announced that the Secret Service and Maxine Waters are continuing an investigation of the quake's suspicious ties to the TEA Party.

Conservatives however say the quake was caused by the Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves.

Yessiree, folks. Yet another Green Job PPP (Public Private Partnership) in Michigan is swirling down the commode.

Solar energy products manufacturer Energy Conversion Devices Inc. -- the firm that invented the battery technology used in most hybrid vehicles on the road -- said Tuesday it plans to sell its profitable battery subsidiary.

But of course, all smart, successful corporations deep-six the profitable side of their business. Nah, it couldn't have anything to do with a realization of Chevy Volt sales or the death of a Ponzi scheme in Salinas, California.

In May, the company announced plans to lay off 300 workers, including 115 in Michigan, after posting a $243 million quarterly loss and suffering the effects of cutbacks in government incentives overseas. The company primarily makes, sells and installs thin-film flexible solar products and systems to the building and rooftop markets and now has about 1,300 employees.

Solar. Ya, that side of ECD, Inc. leeching $37 million out of taxpayers pockets belongs to Debbie's friend Jenny.

But this battery thing...
