Onetime Tea Party Senate hopeful Joe Miller has officially done one worthwhile thing in his life by circulating this video of a wily mother otter saving herself from a bunch of hungry orcas in Turtle Bay by hitching a ride on a boat. (The video gets very sad around the 3-minute mark when the mother otter starts crying for the baby she lost to the whales.)
