A few people have told me they won't be able to attend my April conference because the sequestration is affecting their companies directly or indirectly. Which is, of course, what President Obama was talking about when he said in his press conference last Friday, there would be ripple effects throughout the economy.
The only bright spot in all of this was the send-up Saturday Night Live did last Saturday night for the cold open for the show. If you haven't seen it yet, it's worth watching the whole bit from start to finish: http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/
