    The LSD Hall of Fame my foundation has been trying to build for the past 30 years keeps falling down, so until then, can we get Dock into the Baseball Hall of Fame pronto? #drugs

    "Because the no-hitter was the first game of a double header, Ellis was forced to keep track of the pitch count for the night game." [[en.wikipedia.org]]

    Q: "Hey, how many pitches does Veale have, Dock?"

    A: "Orange."

    There were famous photos of spiders on various drugs---normal web, the pot web---VERY messy and barely a quarter done--and the acid web, which was perfect and incredibly complex, like triple the strands the web would normally have. A web's web.
    Yeah, if you want to pitch a no hitter, try acid. Nothing like it for shake-free, complete concentration. #drugs

    Barbara Manning/The SF Seals have a song about the game called "Dock Ellis" Went to look for it on youtube -- it wasn't there, but damn, Mr. Ellis inspired quite a bit of music. Anyhow, found it on Manning's blog with along with links to a couple nice Ellis remembrances.

    @Moonshine Mike: Back when I was cool, sometime near the beginning of W's first term, a couple members of her band crashed on my living room floor when they were coming through the Twin Cities. Manning was incredibly sweet -- very California, all sunshine and hugs, which is not what I had been expecting from the woman who recorded Scissors, but there ya go. I got a little snide about the jam band that opened for her, and this one song they had about a band of vikings dropping acid, and she said she wished she had heard it -- and told me about "Dock Ellis." I then felt like a jackass. Which I was. #drugs

    Steroids are for pussies. LSD and benzedrine are the PEDs of choice. (Take note, Brad Lidge.) #drugs

    For a society (American) that hates drugs so much, we certainly idolize those that use them quite often. Do drugs kids, do them now. #drugs

    I remember asking a professor in a journalism class that I took a few years ago about the White House Press Corps. I was confused that papers would waste that kind of money to leave people in DC who essentially hear press conferences. My teacher, who is a pretty big name at Newsweek, was baffled at my suggestion. This is why papers are dying #newspapers

    I might quibble on one point. The biggest reason to lament the decline of newspapers is not the loss of jobs, as awful as that is, but the implications for the future of democracy. #newspapers

    @Smitros: In my opinion the newspapers are in such bad shape because they decided to not care about the future of democracy. There are questions that should have been asked and stories that should have been investigated that were not. The journalist used to be a protector of freedom and a seeker of truth. Now they are one sided hacks. Once in a blue moon when a journalist does ask a somewhat decent question they never follow through and end up allowing politicians to get out of answering the question. #newspapers

    @sir_pantsalot: We may be grasping different parts of the elephant, or the chicken and the egg, or some animal metaphor. Newspapers stopped caring about democracy when they got bought up or consultantized into entities that were run to resemble businesses with higher historical profit margins--hence the erosion of the line between editorial and advertising. (Pursuant to the latter, did anyone see the WaPo op-ed last week on the 60th anniversary of the Chinese Revolution? It was appalling largely by its existence.) #newspapers
