When I was told that I was being required to attend a presentation called “The Capitol Steps”, I was less than thrilled. As with many students in today’s times, I am less than well educated in the ins and outs of politics; it is partially my own decision and partially because I cannot find someone to explain it in a way I understand. But going to a presentation based solely on politics and making fun of it... Not exactly my cup of tea. Even after learning about the group and what they were about, I still had many doubts and was dreading going to the outing, even if it was a change from the daily grind of classes. Boy was I wrong…

This may have been the funniest thing I have seen since watching comedian Dane Cook. The politicians and political flubs that the group poked fun at were not things that are unheard of. Most of the jokes I got and even if I did not understand the joke, just the way they mimed the way certain politicians act was hilarious. I would have never gone to something like this on my own but am I ever glad I was forced. The hour long show was filled with songs, jokes and much laughter. This group of talented people defiantly knows what they are doing, and they are good at it. All in all, The Capitol Steps gave a great performance that will stick with me for a while.
