In the Western Christian calendar, Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent and occurs forty-six days (forty days not counting Sundays) before Easter. It is a moveable feast, falling on a different date each year because it is dependent on the date of Easter. It can occur as early as 4 February or as late as 10 March. Ash Wednesday gets its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of the faithful as a sign of repentance. The ashes used are gathered after the Palm Crosses from the previous year's Palm Sunday are burned. In the liturgical practice of some churches, the ashes are mixed with the Oil of the Catechumens[1] (one of the sacred oils used to anoint those about to be baptized), though some churches use ordinary oil. This paste is used by the minister who presides at the service to make the sign of the cross, first upon his or her own forehead and then on those of congregants. The minister recites the words: "Remember (O man) that you are dust, and to dust you shall return", or "Repent, and believe the Gospel."

Tuesday, March 9, 2010 7:30pm The Capitol Steps “You have watched ‘Saturday Night Live’ and you tune in to Comedy Central every night for ‘The Daily Show’ and ‘The Colbert Report.’ But when it comes to satire, you haven't seen the real thing until you have been to ‘The Capitol Steps’.” – The Washington Post Global economic crises are such a downer, aren’t they? But they sure make good fodder for satire—along with international dust-ups, foot-in-mouth moments and corrupt governors. Political humorists The Capitol Steps were born at a Senate staff Christmas party in 1981. Inspired by incumbent president and one-time Hollywood actor Richard Nixon, a group of Senate staffers determined that if entertainers could become politicians, then politicians could become entertainers. Working under the motto “we put the MOCK in democracy,” the group has made a more-than-a-quarter-century career of side-splitting song parodies, skits and satirical humor, spoofing all things political. The Capitol Steps have established themselves as VPAC audience favorites and return to Beaver Creek with brand new material for another evening of hilarity.
