Okay, I have a job for some rich tech-guru: Get these students filibustering Frist set up with a more robust webcam set up!

These young worthies are performing an important public service making the now-faltering Sen. Frist into an object or mockery and ridicule on news wires across the country. And yet from what I can tell they’re webcasting their filibuster to viewers across the country with a jury-rigged contraption that can’t handle the traffic they’re getting.

So they’re not able to stream video any more but rather have to rely on a substantially more feeble 30 second refresh set up.

And this isn’t some idle matter. Without constant surveillance, Frist and maybe Santorum and Mark Levin could swoop by with a bunch of their goons, toss these kids in a van and we’d never hear from them again.

We’ve already gotten one of the world’s preeminent physicists to show up and lend a hand. So certainly we can get these folks a decent web cam, right?
