A fews days after hosting one of the world's most inspirational free-speech rallies, France has arrested a 'comedian' for, well, speech. As far as I can tell, Dieudonné M'bala M'bala is a repellant, offensive, anti-semitic jerk. But if speech is free, shouldn't his be included? As many free societies have learned, the answers to questions like that are complicated, especially in the immediate aftermath of hate-fueled terrorism

"I want to tell you that a headache made me overdose on pain medication once, and all I remember was lurching up my lunch at the student health clinic in Carbondale, Illinois, and a beautiful nurse patting my back because I was crying at the same time, crying and lurching, crying and lurching, because the pain didn't go away, the one in my head, the one pulsating like a heart about to explode. I want to tell you that I know someone who had a headache and the only way he got rid of it was he shot himself. I want to tell you that I've thought about shooting myself."

Let's take a moment and mourn the passing of one of the all time greats. He will be missed by industry journalists who referred to him as "a dream bull." He will be missed by the keepers of the official record book who painstakingly tracked his progress as he set a new mark for semen production. And he will be missed by his offspring. All half-a-million of them. From the WSJ: Farmers say goodbye to the bull who sired 500,000 offspring.

+ Gizmodo: Don't buy what Neil Young is selling. And Stereogum: Overpay for all your favorite classic rock records at the Pono store. I'm at the tail-end of a pretty severe audio-related midlife crisis (related: Anyone want to buy some vinyl?) and I'm convinced that the return to Vinyl and the quest for audio excellence has less to do with sound quality and more to do with nostalgia for what listening to music used to be -- an often communal activity that required focus and was more than just a soundtrack for whatever else you happened to be doing at the moment.

"What kind of farm do you imagine when you think of organic or cage-free eggs? Images of hens frolicking in lush meadows?" MoJo's Tom Philpott| explains that the reality is a bird of another feather.

"His buttocks caused 'serious, disabling and permanent injuries,' according to her 2007 lawsuit." Rick Springfield was back in court facing charges that his butt caused injuries during a concert.
