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.

My Brother's Keeper

My brother Steve and I used to talk politics..

I have a few of them, (Brothers) but THIS particular brother and I disagreed more often than not on issues of the national political stage, policies, and who might be best for leadership. Its was a discussion over George Bush in 2003 that had our wives (watching nearby) fearing a fist fight. Several adult beverages, and a few hours of heated discussion never brought the violence our mates had expected. And we remain as always willing to pick up such discussions, and love each other as brothers do. Family is good. Especially family that can disagree to the point where blood pressures are up, yet peace will prevail in the end.

The reason I mention this is twofold; to illustrate that we can have disagreements and still carry on strong family/professional relationships, and to point out that I would still tell a brother where to stick a suggestion that I donate to ANYONE in that freak show called the Democrat party! I might even tell him to wrap it in broken glass and salted tinfoil for good measure first.

And I suspect he would respect that.

This particular list is a reason that Bobby Schostak ought not be the Republican Party chair for Michigan.

JENNIFER GRANHOLM FOR ATTY GENERAL 509309-CAN DIRECT MR ROBERT I SCHOSTAK PO BOX 267 PARTNER-SCHOSTAK BROTHERS SOUTHFIELD MI 48037-0267 12/14/99 $1,000.00
JENNIFER GRANHOLM FOR ATTY GENERAL 509309-CAN DIRECT ROBERT I SCHOSTAK 25800 NORTHWESTERN HWY EXECUTIVE-SCHOSTAK BROTHERS SOUTHFIELD MI 48075 10/30/98 $1,000.00
JENNIFER M GRANHOLM FOR GOVERNOR 510278-GUB DIRECT ROBERT I. SCHOSTAK PO BOX 267 PARTNER-SCHOSTAK BROTHERS SOUTHFIELD MI 48037-0267 04/21/04 $3,400.00

OH yeah.. Bi-partisanship. Enough to go on by itself, but lets add to it with

Democrat LAURENCE DEITCH received $2000 from each of the Schostak Brothers in his re-election for regent.

In 2008. Why?

One thing that has become clear in the last couple of years is that pandering to the other side brings nothing but misery. Seeding the other side with financial resources makes it harder for OUR guys to succeed. Does it ultimately matter if the chair is a good fundraiser, if our donations go to fight the beast he has fed in the past?

Consider this merely a start of a fact based critique.

Expect more.
