What did you do last week? Well, for about two million federal employees, what they did was get that email.

I'm Scott out with Bill Whittle and Stephen Green, and this episode of Right Angle is brought to you by the members at bill whittle.com.

And that was the subject line, gentlemen, to the email that went out to, like I said, some two million federal employees.
