RICK’S BLOG: Oh Know, It’s The Season of The Crazy Bitch and Other Madness
March 18, 2007

Oh yeah, I’m back in the blogosphere after a long hiatus of writing volumes of material for EU Jacksonville, visits from relatives, and other distractions. During this time, many bizarre happenings have festered in my mind on which I feel compelled to ruminate, such as: Bush is the worst president in history; we must end the Iraq war now; and a bunch of losers are running for Bush’s job. Help me Whamba!

First, is it just me, or have an inordinate number of young women gone stark raving mad lately. Ah yes, lets delve into this "season of the crazy bitch." The prime mover for this trend is my favorite astronaut, Lisa Nowak–whacked-out Nowak we’ll call her. In my wildest dreams I could never have imagined such a juicy story, and I have a wild imagination.
We expect bimbos like Britney Spears to daily go bonkers by shaving her head, getting tattooed, showing her wide open vagina to the press, and her other spoiled rich kid antics. She’s worth $100 million, so she can do anything she wants.

And let us consider our favorite trailer park trash, Tanya Harding, who is back in the news again. High on meth, Tanya called the police while halucinating there were people trying to break into her digs to hurt her. The police noticed she was "tweaked out" and told her to see a doctor. Uh, hello, she needs serious in-patient rehab.

Likewise, can we forget the two Barbie bimbos who robbed a bank in sun glasses thinking that would hide their identity, and then they went and had their hair done and bought jewelry at a nearby story? Were they so stupid that they didn’t know that bank robbery was against the law? Of course, we expect daily updates on Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie’s latest brushes with the law, their eating disorders, and other lame efforts to keep their shallow celebrity status on the front page of the tabloids. They are, after all, fabricated celebrities.

However, the astronaut corp has always been the flag waving American dream job, made up of the best pilots, engineers, and scientists after being carefully selected by strict standards to join the NASA team. Then they go on to do exceptional work in space. NASA has always been the bastion of intellectual accomplishment and hu-ra. Of course, that all changed when the excretment hit the fan during that attempted kidnaping odyssey in Orlando.

Yes, we all know the incredible story by now. Nowak, 43, split from her husband, presumably because she was in love with Navy Comdr. William Oefelein, who was seeing another woman, Colleen Shipman, and thought Nowak was over him. She donned the now famous diaper and drove 900 miles to the Orlando Airport with a steel mallet, a BB gun, duct tape, and a hunting knife to alegedly "confront" Chipman about her relationship with Oefelein.
Now we wait for the trial. Nowak is through as an astronaut, and may do hard time for her actions. When the jury hears all the evidence, including the weapons she was carrying, they will not be sympathetic.

Man, I haven’t been this intrigued by a news story since Anita Hill uttered "pubic hair" and "he wanted me to know he had a large penis" during Clarence Thomas’ acceptance hearing. Then there was the epic televised melodrama called the O.J. Simpson murder trial in which the DA had so much physical evidence against O.J., he said on camera, "It’s a slam dunk." Yeah, the jury revolted against Marsha Clark and being sequestered for a year and set O.J. free. Hell, he could of killed more people and submitted a signed confession and this jury would have acquitted him just to piss off the prosecution.

Indeed, female head cases are rampant (there must be a shift in the harmonic convergence). Frankly, I’m not surprised after my personal experience with an ex-wife who went missing for two weeks (a la the runaway bide) and a number of women who I have witnessed go crazy for no good reason. Most men are clueless to this phenomenon, until one day their wife or girlfriend suddenly starts throwing plates at them just for being a man in their presence. Hey, it happens. Ask any mature man who is a veteran of the "crazy bitch" syndrome. Add insane jealousy to the mix, like in Nowak’s case, and anything can happen. The truth is: Men and women are from different planets and each gender should stay on their respective planets.
