It's official. We have a new champ! Emma is the most popular baby name this year. Displacing that soggy old has-been, Emily. See ya Emily! Don't let the screen door slam on your way out. We told Jonah that Emma was the most popular name in the country. He said: "Yeah, cause Emma is so crazy." Being from the U of C, I thought about the historical significance of this, and I think we can safely say the Red Scare is over. Welcome back Emma!
Message to Emmas everywhere: Don't get too confident. Eliana is coming up fast behind you. Eliana has jumped 100 places in the past 3 years. That's momentum. That's unstoppable.

Who's the picture of?
It's Emma Goldman, an anarchist who was deported by the US in 1919 or 1920 because of her politics. Maureen Stapleton won an Oscar for her role as Goldman in the movie Reds, which is one of my all-time favorite movies.
