ORLANDO, Fla. - Former astronaut Lisa Nowak wants a judge to let her remove the ankle bracelet that allows authorities to track her as she awaits trial on suspicion of attacking a romantic rival, calling it expensive and unnecessary.

[Redcitizen]

She's wearing a star tracker...

[Old Sarge]

“Houston, I have a problem...”

[cripplecreek]

Well It wouldn’t be a problem if she promises that she won’t leave the planet.

[RckyRaCoCo]

press to MECO

[gubamyster]

Maybe it’s too difficult for her to get a diaper on over the tracker.

[Revolting cat!]

The chick is plotting something...

[acoulterfan]

Well isn’t she just “full of herself”!

[Bommer]

..Nowak is paying $105 a week — $2,940 so far — for the monitoring device as a condition of her release, according to a court filing her attorney says was made Thursday. A clerk at the Circuit Court in Orange County could not find the filing, but said it could be on its way.

Hey, go back to jail and save some bucks!

Nowak also argues that the device interferes with her ability to exercise — a requirement for a Navy officer — and her ability to drive, fly on a commercial airplane and monitor her children in the pool.

Navy Officer? Driving? Flying? And watching kids? I don't think she has anything to worry about in any of those areas! Maybe thats why they want the bracelet on! So she can't do any of those things!

In an interview with detectives, Nowak says she confronted Shipman because she wanted to know "where she stands" in the bizarre love triangle.

I guess a telephone call was out of the question. She is lucky she is not in the booby hatch already.

[Scotsman will be Free]

What the hell is wrong with you? Whenever I want to confront someone I always wear a disguise, hose ‘em with pepper spray, and carry a kidnap kit with me.

[Cecily]

Not only that, but how would Shipman know where Nowak stood with the Casanova they had in common? Only he could tell her where she stood with him. Why didn’t she confront his lame *behind?*

[Spok]

Yes, she is. The judge should remove the tracker...right after she books herself back in to jail.

[Lancey Howard]

[b4its2late]

Lemme guess........She wants to do another cross country trip in in diapers?

[Revolting cat!]

Do we have a Pampers PING list here?

[Jacquerie]

I have to wonder what seagoing commands, with real responsibility this Navy Captain, astronaut and psycho chick had.

[Karliner]

Do we have a Pampers PING list here?

If not we should. This very moment I'm considering robbing the 7/11 in diapers, baby bonnet and a pacifier....cause I might get lost in the beer section....well not really but couldn't resist... hee hee wahhhhh :>)

[toddlintown]

How will Scotty know the coordinates to beam her up if necessary?

[dighton]

Flying?

File under stuff of nightmares.

"Welcome aboard United Airlines flight 23. This is your Captain, Lisa Nowak."

[Abigail Adams]

If it’s good enough for Martha Stewart, it’s good enough for No-whack.

When is this thing going to trial, anyway?

[Chode]

listen stooopid... thinking you were SPECIAL, is what got you into that bracelet in the first place. and i can see you've learned absolutely NOTHING!!!

[OCC]

Only he could tell her where she stood with him.

Good point, but it seems she may have already known she was the weakest link in the triangle.

[Eaker]

But do you wear a diaper?

[PAR35]

How is she ever going to get to Florida and finish things if she’s stuck with the tracker?

[longtermmemmory]

Stewart was convicted and under a sentence. This is a conditional pretrial release of a person who still has the presumption of innocence.

These requests are not unusual. Most other people would have posted a bond.

The judge might be able to reduce the cost if that is the issue.

[missnry]

Isn’t there a typo on the title?
Shouldn’t that read “ASTRONUT Nowak Wants Tracker Removed”?

[wrench]

She needs to be tried under the UCMJ for conduct unbecoming, assualt, and attempted kidnapping.

Found guilty, stripped of rank and sentenced to 5 years at a military prison.

We don’t need a Navy version of P. Hilton

[Scotsman will be Free]

Only if I think that I’m going to be arrested.

[Eaker]

LOL!

[TigersEye]

File under stuff of nightmares.

"Welcome aboard United Airlines flight 23. This is your Captain, Lisa Nowak."

Yeah, but she could handle the longest non-stop flights you can imagine.

[hole_n_one]

lol!

[GingisK]

I guess she needs to run another little errand.

[monkapotamus]

[null and void]

Do we have a Pampers PING list here?

Depends...

[SevenofNine]

That one chic need tracking device LOL!
