No, not the building, the comedy group (http://www.capsteps.com).

I'd forgotten how funny they were until my daughter reminded me that she missed the July 4th radio broadcast.

Anyone else listen to them? If you don't, there are songs and two shows archived at the web site and available for free download. These folks are all about contemporary political humor set to music. Pretty good stuff.

Here (http://www.moosehill.com/steps/sounds/korea-nukeproblem.mp3) is a sample that deals with Korea and Kim Jong Il

I actually saw them about a year ago at a local theatre. I really thought they were brilliant.

Imagine if all lawyers had that kind of free time.

Yeah, they have been around a long time. I usually only get to see them during national elections. Every 4th October, some news producer is sure to devote a 3 minute segment to them. Very funny.

I've heard them. My friend's dad really loves the Capitol Steps.

I saw them a couple weeks ago, actually, when I was in DC. They were pretty funny, but alot of their jokes were stale from age.
