Wisconsin recall webcam so boring it's mesmerizing

.You know you live in a state consumed by politics when a webcam showing bureaucrats silently shuffling around a nondescript room feeding papers into a scanner attracts tens of thousands of viewers.

Such is the case in Wisconsin.

The cam (http://mirrors.5nines.com/stream/), featuring a live look at the guarded, secret location where petitions to recall Gov. Scott Walker and five other Republicans are being housed and processed, has its own account on Twitter and a growing cadre of followers who've attached nicknames to the workers, pointed out when people mug for the camera and generally mock the entire process.

Live sex shows, it ain't.
