All my life I've been told I am going to hell.
Welcome to Washington, D.C., where government nerds have all the power and senators are treated like rock stars.
Looking back at the last few years, I'm appalled at my education.
Sometimes dreams are deferred.
I can admit it now: I never accepted the theory, advanced in my childhood, that girls can do anything.
As strange as it may sound, I got my life's ambition from watching a Disney movie.
My first victim was a woman--white, well dressed, probably in her early twenties.
Given my blonde hair, blue eyes, and English pedigree, I would be a WASP poster girl. In fact, I've spent most of my life surrounded by people who look just like me.
My first real run-oin with sexism came when I was 17 after I told my grandfather I wanted to be a doctor. "Why don't you be a nurse?" he replied.
Hitting a tree at 70 mph was the best thing that ever happened to me.
