The Final Frontier
There are sometimes I see the news and I just take a deep bone-rattling sigh at people being their own worse enemies.
Oh, and crazy.
An astronaut drove 900 miles and donned a disguise to confront a woman she believed was her rival for the affections of a space shuttle pilot, police said. She was arrested Monday and charged with attempted kidnapping and other counts.
U.S. Navy Capt. Lisa Nowak, 43, who flew last July on a shuttle mission to the international space station, was also charged with attempted vehicle burglary with battery, destruction of evidence and battery. She was denied bail.
Huh? What the hell .
Astronauts gone wild, indeed. Of course she’s innocent before proven guilty, but she still receives today’s asshat award. Here is some advice, Capt. Nowak. No love on earth is worth doing something this irrational. Love is great and all, but if you have to don a disguise and drive 900 miles to attempt a kidnapping of your “love rival” you might want to look within yourself, take a good hard look and realize that this love thing is a two way street that can’t be forced.
Endeth the advice.
See, that’s what I never understand: So many women — SMART women, too, like in this case — want to go whip the women with whom their men are cheating, instead of the losers who are cheating on them. Not that any of it is ever worth going to the pen over, but gah. Cuss out the sucker who’s cheating on you and leave his sorry tail and go on your way rejoicing that you’ve just swiftly lost 180-plus pounds of ugly fat. Don’t get in some stupid catfight and have to post bond; find somebody who’s worthy of you.
