Wisconsin recall webcam so boring it's mesmerizing

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Nameless bureaucrats processing petitions to recall the governor shuffle in and out of the frame, stacking, unstacking and scanning seemingly endless piles of paper in a process carried live on an increasingly popular webcam that's so mind-numbingly boring, it's mesmerizing.

Welcome to Wisconsin, where even the dullest of political theater attracts tens of thousands of viewers.
