...video's minimalism makes way for Ellis' rich retelling of the story. The middling hurler - whose career record stands at 138-119 - claims he dropped acid not knowing it was a game day, and took the hill despite being "high as a Georgia pine." He tells viewers about imagining Jimi Hendrix in the batter's box, Richard Nixon calling balls and strikes and coping with a ball that constantly shifted in size. But despite these drug-induced hallucinations (and eight walks), Ellis stifled the Padres, striking out six. It may not be an achievement Major League Baseball is eager...
Health care legislation may be garnering most of the headlines these days, but it's far from the only bill circulating on Capitol Hill. Another new piece of legislation quietly making its way to President Obama's desk is the Travel Promotion Act (TPA) - it has already been approved by the Senate and is now in front of the House - which would establish the country's first official nonprofit tourism board...

Sanders was one of a handful of Dems who voted to boot Lieberman from the party back in January and says that if given the chance, he'd do it again.

...didn't much matter what Bill Clinton had to say to Senate Democrats when he made his unusual appearance at their weekly caucus lunch Nov. 10 on Capitol Hill. Yes, he talked policy and economic imperatives and all that. But the former President was really there, at Senate majority leader Harry Reid's invitation, as the ghost of 1994 - a reminder of what happened the last time lawmakers took up the cause of health care reform and didn't finish the job. That failure not only dealt a near crippling blow to a young Democratic presidency but also cost...
...addition to all these public battles, Reid is waging private ones as well, according to sources on and off Capitol Hill. He has complained to colleagues that the White House has pressured him to lean on the CBO to speed its cost estimates of the measure - something that could easily be seen as exerting improper influence on the CBO's calculations, which are supposed to be free of political pressure. And he has been pleading with liberal interest groups to ease up on Senator Joe Lieberman - an independent whom Reid counts as part of his 60-member caucus - over Lieberman...
