Nancy Drew, Or Why I'm Irritated With Greta Van Susteren

I used to like Greta, actually. But as she leaned more and more right, I grew more and more disenchanted with her. When I heard she brought Todd Palin to the White House Correspondents dinner, it only sealed my feelings, or so I thought.

Nancy Drew has been in the news a lot lately, for inspiring many women and irritating others. And Greta said that of course, she read just Nancy Drew-families didn't buy both Nancy Drew AND the Hardy Boys. I have news for you, Greta-my family did. And not only that, my older brother and sister read both series-we didn't discriminate amongst the genders in my family. We read all of them and that science fiction series with Tom Swift as well. And they were handed down to me.

I'd like to thank my parents and my brother and sister for not only buying both, but for showing me at a young age that your gender didn't matter when it came to books-there were no such things as books for boys and books for girls. They were books for all and all meant to be read by whomever wanted to read them.
