The Capitol Steps wish that Al Gore could get global warming to step it up a bit because it is freezing in DC this week. It is colder than Ann Coulter stamping passports at the Mexican border!

The Capitol Steps wish everyone a safe and happy holiday!

The Capitol Steps will be recording our New Year's version of "Politics Takes a Holiday" for NPR this weekend - if Mother Nature doesn't have other plans! Listen for it on your local station. If not, you can download the hour long show from our website starting on Dec. 31.

The Capitol Steps wonder what gives? Days after calling Wall Street bankers "fat cats" President Obama invites them for lunch - let's hope Cat Chow was served. The result? The Obama Administration changes tax rules to let Citigroup protect $38 billion from taxes! Taxes that are supposed to pay us back for bailing them out. HUH?

The Capitol Steps remember the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It was the worst thing to happen to Pearl Harbor until Ben Affleck.

The Capitol Steps debut a couple new songs this weekend. "Lie of the Tiger" to the Survivor classic "Eye of the Tiger" - we couldn't resist because this story has become HUGE! And "It's Your Party and We'll Crash If We Want To" - thanks for Roxie for the idea - featuring the increasingly investigated Salahis.

The Capitol Steps Obama + black tie affair = crashers. Tiger + affair = black-Thai crash. So do you think Tiger is worthy of a song? Perhaps a lirty line or two? Or should we let the poor guy slide?

The Capitol Steps
learned that Michelle Obama's dress that she wore to the State dinner for the Indian Prime Minister took 40 people more than 4 weeks to complete. Since an Indian seamstress is paid about 15 cents an hour, that dress cost nearly $100! Did she check TJ Maxx first?
Yet another possible job outsourced to India.

The Capitol Steps like all the attention being given to the phony couple who crashed the White House State dinner. But Joe Biden and his wife insist they were invited.

The Capitol Steps are enjoying the President's trip to China. But what do you think this guy is thinking? Give us a caption and win a copy of our holiday CD.

The Capitol Steps agree that Christmas seems to be creeping in a bit earlier each year. Here comes a shameless plug...reminds us of our song "It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas (Earlier Each Year) from our new holiday album.

The Capitol Steps love a good political cartoon - especially when it mixes politics and sports. By they way, does anybody REALLY believe Pres. Obama didn't watch any election results?

The Capitol Steps It's time for another caption contest. Send us your best and we'll send you 2 copies of our new holiday CD "Barackin' Around the Christmas Tree." One for you and one for a gift. Let's go international and imagine what Iranian Pres. Am-a-dinner-jacket might be saying....

The Capitol Steps recorded their Halloween edition of Politics Takes a Holiday this weekend. Check your NPR station to see if they are carrying it. If not, you can visit our website after Nov. 1st and listen online. Sorry for the previous message which would have required a tear in the space-time continuum to hear the show.
