No, There's no cream for it.
I've started using Habari as my blogging software on this site because my brother is on the team creating it. I'm enough of a geek to know my way around most stuff but I've never been on an alpha release of a product. I'm used to getting my hands on a polished or at least presentable piece of software. I'm finding myself torn between being helpful and having useful input and just saying,

For instance, It took me at least a minute to put that picture into this post. A minute? yes! In internet terms, that's about 3 years, 6 weeks, 9 days and 7 hours. Worthless. Why? Because, to quote somebody close to the project, "wysiwyg sucks." The back end UI for writing this is slick, pretty, and impressive. But it's also counter-intuitive, somewhat confusing, and a bit too sparse. Apparently there are lots of features that would make my life easier but they're not put out where they can be found unless you know where to look or somebody points them out. I'm getting horrible images of the Windows Vista logo... scary shit.

That being said, it seems straightforward enough and I haven't come across anything that makes me want to trash it. The bad thing is that I also haven't found a single reason to change over to it. I have a blog running on Wordpress and this one on Habari. If somebody said, "Hey Yams, I know you use Habari and Wordpress right, Which do you recommend?" I'd give the thumbs up to Wordpress. In fairness, that's at least in part due to the fact that WP is a mature software with lots of support and plugins and documentation while Habari is just getting off its feet but if their code monkeys don't realize that Form !> Function, it never will.

Me:
I like- guns. abortion. gay marriage. legal weed. fast cars. porn. freedom. responsibility for yourself. a free-market economy. death penalty.
I don't like- the Feds telling us what to do or how or when. welfare for the able-bodied and capable. Government subsidies and bailouts (mortgage, ethanol, etc). NCLB. Patriot Act. The concept of sacrificing liberty for security. Spending more on other countries than on ours.

Questions:
1- If the Fed and IRS are both illegal (I'm not a lawyer but I've read a lot of shit and actually have gone through the constitution to look for it) why are they still around?
2- How does the Fed get to just create money and why is nobody concerned about what it does to our money when they do it?
3- Obama seems to do whatever is popular. McCain seems to do whatever his old brain can actually remember- which isn't much. Paul is totally ignored by the media and a little bit crazy... ok not a question but seriously... are these guys the best we can get?
4- When we're exporting jobs faster than anything else, why isn't the government moving to protect our country from economic collapse?
5- Am I the only person who wants far fewer laws and far more fitting/more harsh repercussions for violating them?
6- For those of you who are in this camp, How do you justify wanting the death penalty and not abortion?
7- For those of you in this camp, How do you justify wanting the government uninvolved in who you married but involved of what weapons you carry?
8- How can the limitations of the un-patriotic act jive with the same people who said "out of my cold dead hands?"
9- How can people want us out of Iraq but still want us in the UN?
10- WTF???

Zimbabwe is so fucked up it makes America's politics look awesome.
That being said, Dubyah signed for more sanctions against Zimbabwe. First off, Sanctions have been incredibly effective so far, no? no. dumbshit. Second, how the HELL does Bush get off saying things like, "No regime should ignore the will of its own people and calls from the international community without consequences."

Hello, pot? Yeah this is kettle, you're fucking black, dude. Just thought I'd let you know.

Unilateral action against the will of your own constituents? Blatant lies created to get their support? Flagrant nepotism and corruption? Seriously. If we didn't have the constitutional right to bear arms, I wouldn't be surprised to see our own armed forces turned on us.

This is so unbelievably fucked.

I got to shoot GUNS!
Friggin sweet.

Went camping with the guys and we got to fire off a whole assortment of guns. A desert eagle .44, a .40, a .32, a .22, a 410 shotgun, an AK-47... the list goes on.

Turns out I really like guns and I'm totally excited to be playing with them more in the future.

Seriously.
There's a world food shortage. Flour prices have tripled in many parts of the world in just over a year. This is a big problem for a LOT of people. But here's where I stop caring. I keep hearing about Gopali Arjemneidneidad and his eight children and Akshat Mohinderstan having a hard time feeding his family of 12. Well there's your problem, dumbass. TEN CHILDREN. Fuck you. You want me to care about you? You think Americans are wasteful? We may buy stupid SUVs that get shit mileage but even doing stupid things like that, there's no way 3 wasteful people are going to be as big a drain as 12- even if those 12 are scrimping.
Add to this the fact that the places getting hit the hardest are the places that historically don't allow women to be members of society. So you're going to make 10 kids then deny your wife the ability to take care of them? No wonder your country is in poverty and you can't feed your family. Eat your pride and your stupidity. You've got enough of that to share you stupid bastards.
