You just know that we're all going to be treated to endless stories from the cable news networks and talk radio about the NASA female astronaut who drove from Houston to Orlando in a diaper in order to squirt pepper spray in the face of a younger woman who was her rival for the affections of another male astronaut. Good grief!
I doubt the charges of attempted capital murder and kidnapping will stick, but reducing the charges to lesser felonies won't dissuade the media from following the story. Last night I had dinner with the Shower Sisters and we all cross-examined Wonder Woman (our own rocket scientist) to see what she knew about this story. She didn't know anything more than was in the papers, but observed that the NASA culture seemed to encourage sexual hi-jinks that usually aren't publicly exposed.
Remember Clara Harris, the woman who ran over her cheating husband with her Mercedes and killed him after catching him in flagrant delicto? And how about Andrea Yates, the mom who drowned her 5 children in a depressive, psychotic moment? Both of them lived in Clear Lake, a subdivision of Houston. Lisa Nowak also lives in Clear Lake. Makes you wonder if there's something in the water over there.
