A few quick links this Sunday:

• Jim Lindgren wants us to follow the Euros when it comes to not being able to tell the time. Not any anti-Euro bigotry on my part, but I find the concept of DST as it is annoying, though it does help one way or another. Let’s save the planet by having three different ways with which to tell the time, yes? Fun!
• I just have to ape Mark Jaquith on the South Park reference when it comes to his SCOTUS pick… Red rocket, red rocket, red rocket… Janice Rogers Brown exhibits judicial sarcasm! We all know the Senate’s drill, though. Just the coming of the “J” sound would bring cries of filibuster.
• I see no joy in buying fully cooked bacon. It just doesn’t cut it for me, you know? Not even NASCAR branding helps.
• Is Nikola Tesla fascinating? He was a tragic figure whose story underlines the inextricability of politics from science. Sweetest irony was when he was awarded a medal named after his most bitter and charismatic rival, Thomas Edison. Fascinating isn’t exactly what I’d call Tesla, though..
