if you go to the Home Office's website, it describes the "unacceptable behaviour policy" in subjective detail. generally speaking, the UK will ban you if you have expressed racist, violent, or biggotted views in any form of media. good thing i love all races, creeds and colours. and i put a "u" in "color".

of course, i'd love to be able to ban folks from coming onto U.S. soil (including sovereign states). those included on that list: jean claude van damme, osama bin laden, amy winehouse, and simon cowell. 

stupid U.S. freedom of speech. 

RIP dom deluise. A god among men

non-hybrid suv beats up on hybrids

the 2010 chevy equinox looks like it will be beating the fuel economy of the Toyota RAV-4, Honda CR-V, and even the Ford Escape Hybrid at 32 MPG highway. i will admit i haven't been the biggest supporter of american automobiles in the past, but this is pretty impressive and the actual car body doesn't look like shit. much better than shit, actually.

i hope this is a taste of what's to come in detroit and other american automakers. if it is, i may even become a convert.
