Check out the above article about the Frist Filibuster Protest on Daily
Kos, and ***recommend it*** to make sure that as many people see it as
possible. If you don't have an account at Daily Kos already, signing
up is a quick process. It's one of the most widely read political
blogs on the Left...

Husband and wife physics team take up TPM faculty challenge to filibuster Frist, win glory and t-shirt!

According to our informants on the scene, this afternoon Edward Witten and Chiara Nappi approached filibuster organizers conducting their filibuster against Frist and informed them they were ready to take up the TPM challenge.

BTW, Ed Witten is a HUGE name in string theory and probably one of the smartest guys on the planet. He has an undegrad degree in polysci and use to work in politics before he morphed into a string theory guru. Of course, he must be smart since he is a democrat. :-)
