Schoolhouse Rock, Capitol Edition. “A noun is a person, place, or thing.” Next week, it will be “Unpack Your Adjectives”, describing the steps as “Tall”, “Blocky”, and “Wide”.

They did. This was one of them, they cut off “watch” and “your” from this sign.

I am pretty sure that sign has been there for a few years. Probably as long ago when she was there.

It’s a metaphor for how candidates have viewed the General Assembly - even before Obama went to the Senate and became President.

Years ago, when our state office building was planning an Open House, one of the stated goals was to provide “visual aids for the blind.”

At least the sign was honest— it could have read “Work Zone”.

Now it is time to do the steps exercise. One step, two steps, three steps more….

I missed that exact step walking out of the Capitol a month ago and bottom out my right hip (I did not get hurt at all) it was embarrassing more than anything. I can see why that sign is there.

Thanks. I’m taking it one step at a time.

“That sign doesn’t refer to Steps, that’s actually an acronym Madigan used to use when reviewing Saputo’s. Saputo’s Tastes Exceptionally Primo Scrumptous.”
