Dolphin rescued from Bering Sea...!

Via beagle1971: To make matters more puzzling, he's a former Dolphin.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — NFL Hall of Famer Larry Csonka was among six people plucked by helicopter from a stranded boat during a harrowing rescue in the Bering Sea, a newspaper reported Sunday.

Csonka, his partner, and a film crew from his television show were not injured, but the boat was abandoned at sea, the Anchorage Daily News reported in Sunday editions.

Csonka was part of a group returning from filming a hunting trip on an isolated island about 100 miles west of Unalaska on Wednesday when their 28-foot boat encountered bad weather.

I keep wondering why I haven't gone ahead and created my "random news-headline generation system," but then I realize we already have the Internet.

Brown out, blackout

Amid the unexpected news of the day (Brown resigns from FEMA -- okay, expected but not necessarily today, LA blackouts) Matthew Felling's letter to Romenesko make me snicker.

...Today, CNN has brought us the 6-way split screen, a 3 by 2 matrix:

Cam 1: John Roberts
Cam 2: Some senator speaking
Cam 3: Some picture of the capitol, wisely remaining silent.
Cam 4: A street-view of the Supreme Court.
Cam 5: Another view of the Senator speaking, but one-second off from Camera 2.
(I'm getting dizzy)
Cam 6: Different video -- sometimes Bush in Mississippi, sometimes "The Roberts Hearings" on the screen, sometimes Jeff Greenfield.

I think we'll all look back on September 12th longingly, at some (probably too soon) point in the future, when every cable news outlet decides to resemble Hollywood Squares. ("I'll take Carrot Top and Homeland Security for the Block.")
