Current Goal

Uncle Skam wants to visit and have his picture taken in front of as many state capitols and national monuments as possible.

About This Item

Uncle Skam wants YOU! (to find him)

Uncle Skam is on the election trail! He likes to have photographic proof of his travels, so he can show his constituants how hard he's working. Be sure to keep Uncle Skam away from excessive booze, female interns, and lobbyists.

Special thanks to brentbeebe, who helped Uncle Skam complete his original mission to visit and be photographed in front of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.! He got an unprecedented "insider" tour!

God bless the U.S.A.! Remember...vote Skam in 2004!

Uncle Skam took a tour of the U.S. Capitol and surrounding area today!

  • Union Station Like many visitors, Uncle Skam gets his first glimpse of DC at Union Station. Before he could jump on the DC Ducks tour vehicle though, I convinced him to come with me instead for a 'behind the scenes' tour (well, sort of!)
  • CVC Project Office Uncle Skam was very excited when I told him that there is a massive building project currently underway at the Capitol to develop a new Visitors Center. Future visitors will be able to enjoy new exhibit galleries and learn more about the legislative branch of government before touring the Capitol itself. My wife works at the project office and was happy to show him some of the progress being made. Here he is outside the office entrance.
  • Conference room Skating on the conference table.
  • Progress photo Uncle Skam checks out the overall progress on the East front. Now it's time for a site visit!
  • Just a hole in the ground now... brentbeebe with Uncle Skam, looking out from the East front. Yeah, the project's just a hole in the ground right now, but it'll be fun to visit when it's complete. Visitors will enter via a descending walkway into the Center located under the East front. Landscaping will be restored above the center to conform as closely as possible to the original architect's plan. Access to the Capitol will be controlled in the center. Library of Congress is in the background of this photo.
  • Capitol- East front Money Shot #1, brentbeebe with Uncle Skam outside the East front. Believe it or not, you can still walk the Capitol steps right here and look over the wall into the construction area. The building's still an impressive sight, even with all the cranes around.
  • West front- mall view Uncle Skam by the West front reflecting pool. Way across the mall in the background is the Washington Monument.
  • Capitol- West front Money shot #2. Uncle Skam hamming it up in a classic West front tourist pose. This ended his U.S. Capitol tour, he very much enjoyed it. I know I did too, since I had the morning off!

I think I can help Uncle Skam out in a pretty big way. It's fun to show the tourists around sometimes, and my wife works at the U.S. Capitol...

Will take him to Missouri's First Capitol, Saint Charles. There he can see some of the Lewis and Clark stuff on his way to D.C.
