File Under "N"...

...for No Shit, Sherlock:

Ex-astronaut Nowak to use insanity defense

Two word response: Ya think???

I loved this part:
Nowak suffered from major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, insomnia and “brief psychotic disorder with marked stressors,” defense attorney Donald Lykkebak wrote. He said the already-petite woman had also recently lost 15 percent of her body weight and struggled with "marital separation.”

Gee, I wonder why? Here's a Top Ten List of why Lisa Nowak's husband left her:

  1. Worried about losing his Astro-nuts.
  2. Got tired of being the butt of the "Your Astronaut Wife's So Crazy" jokes.
  3. Saw the writing on the padded wall.
  4. Heard "So, I guess Freud was right about rockets" once too often.
  5. Cost of "Depends" skyrocketing due to rising gas prices.
  6. Kept breaking down in tears in frozen orange juice substitute section of supermarket.
  7. Can't compete with the pressure of not being in the 10 mile high club.
  8. Left his copy of "Space Flight for Crazies Dummies" out in the open.
  9. Apparently, it's once you go astro you never go back.
  10. Kept having "I Dream of Jeanie" flashbacks

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all the week...

I don't think she is insane, just plain old batshit crazy.
