We get it. It’s busy and getting closer to Christmas. Still, we were amused when we received a breathless email with the subject line “hey … press event on chained CPI at 12:45 pm?” that included what we think will become one of our new aliases:

“Hey XXX — I know its last minute, but wanted to check … you guys going to make it to the House Triangle at 12:45 (in 30 mins) to see Progressives taking on the Chained CPI?  See advisory below for details.

“Let me know if you think you’ll be there… either way, we’ll make sure you get our react.”

Nothing says you care more than addressing us as “XXX.”
