The TV service, "Velocity" will have this year's TT race shortly...here's another, a tire tester at work:

Not a videogame - Tim Rothig, ZX-10, Nurburgring!

Why kids today are out of shape, disrespectful – and in charge

Well, much better said than what psychologists and/or counselors say here in the Caribbean, which it always ends up with them saying that the lack of Jesus Christ is what is tearing the family apart.

Philadelphia was host to White Privilege Conference 2016 this weekend, where the attendees blamed the evils of society on everything from the “Christian hegemony,” to people not using Justice Sonia Sotomayor‘s name for their computer password. The Daily Caller provided extensive coverage of this PC minefield-of-a-conference, but what might have been the weirdest thing of all was when participants decided that the conference itself had become a bastion of white supremacy.

Unexpectedly!

What happens if you need medical care, but your parents' religion forbids it?

This girl wants her parents prosecuted for denying her care at birth. She's now waiting on a heart and lung transplant.

I'm guessing that family gatherings are a little awkward.

You guys should Amy a 'trigger warning' before posting those races. Wow!

Someone tried to match Churchill drink for drink and it ends about as well as you would expect:

One thing is certain: his fondness for kickstarting the day with what he called “mouthwash” -- a weak whisky and soda, which he would take from about 9.30 onwards and keep continually topped up. But the whisky (simple Johnnie Walker, no fancy malt) would only just cover the bottom of the tumbler; the bulk of the drink was soda.

It’s a rather delightful way to start the day, as I discover. Especially, when consumed in bed. Churchill would frequently spend all morning in his dressing gown, under the covers, surrounded by papers and secretaries. He would also happily have meetings while taking a hot bath -- a habit I did not attempt to replicate.

I'll give the author a clue: Sir Winston didn't wake up one morning and start that drinking regimine. No, he worked into it over his entire life. And I'll admit, when I doctor my coffee with something a bit stronger than creamer, it is indeed a pleasant way to start the day.

Bad things can happen to you when you fib to Congress:

Department of Veterans Affairs Undersecretary David Shulkin assured the House Veterans Affairs Committee Tuesday that an agency employee who participated in an armed robbery during her off-duty hours had been fired. Committee Chairman Rep. Jeff Miller wasn’t buying it.

The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group’s Luke Rosiak reports what happened next: “But in the final seconds of Tuesday’s hearing, Miller, a Florida Republican, returned from outside the hearing room and announced that ‘I just confirmed with the Caribbean Healthcare System that the individual we were discussing is still on the payroll.’”

World takes note of yet another conservative religious outrage.

From Smashing Pumpkin's front man Billy Corgan:

"That's the world I grew up in, a liberal, Democratically-leaning Chicago that was about tolerance and free speech, not 'shut it down because it's unpleasant'... The lack of tolerance of ideas and other points of view is the great Achilles heel of the social justice warrior movement."

On Monday, the House passed a bill in a 66-22 vote that would prevent state funds from being used to support Sex Week events, to promote gender neutral pronouns, to promote or inhibit religious holidays or to fund the UT diversity office. Funds would be redirected for "In God We Trust" decals for law enforcement and minority engineering scholarships. Currently, no state funds support Sex Week events.

John Stossell has cancer. And he gives good insight into the lack of customer service in the hospital setting.

Better yet...

How much public money should you be able to command for your personal health care?

Sarah Palin was right: there are death panels. You might call them something else...

Repairing her heart defect as a child would have been far cheaper than the decade of care she's been getting, the transplants, and a life time supply of anti rejection meds will be
