The political comedy group the The Capitol Steps will take the stage on Sunday at 4 p.m. for a fundraiser to benefit the Howard County League of Women Voters. The League uses the funds to distribute its election guides and operate its organization, according to League co-president Alice Giles. “It’s a really good event and it’s really fun,” said Giles. “It’s a mockery of everybody.” The satire group was founded 30 years ago by a group of Congressional staffers who wanted to point out the ridiculousness of Washington’s antics, according to its website.

Perseid Meteor Shower 2012 to Light Up the Sky

This weekend's biggest show is in the sky.

  Earlier this week, the big news was on Mars as the world watched the Curiosity Mars rover speed through that planet’s thin atmosphere at 13,000 mph, before being lowered down to Red Planet's surface. This weekend, the show is in our very own sky. The Perseid Meteor Shower 2012 hits its stride this weekend, late Saturday night and early Sunday morning. And what stride it will be: according to NASA, expect up to 100 meteors per hour. As an extra bonus, a waning crescent moon means that moonlight won’t completely overwhelm the meteors as they shoot across the sky. Where do you plan to go to watch the Perseids? Let us know in the comments. Like all meteor showers, the Perseid shower is named after the constellation that the meteors appear to…
