Referring to the phrase:The You've been CC'd: You've got to admit that Christie certainly has a sense of humor. After looking at the things he has planned for state employees, state retirees, and teachers, I think many people probably said "I've been CC'd" and I don't think the two Cs referred to our governor's name. The first C is for cold and the second C is for a word that rhymes with "locked".
