Come on in!

everyone please join me in welcoming Emily on her first visit to our little blogosphere. And, congratulations are in order for a big promotion -- she's now just a couple steps under Senator Lamar Alexander's chief-of-staff (which means she's well-positioned for a run at the presidency in 2016, they'll have waived the age requirements by then). If you Fairfax CofC people don't know Emily, you should, 'cause she's cool and well-connected (both on the hill and internationally with arms dealers, etc.)
