As co-creator of the syndicated radio service "The Comedy Wire" and contributor to the popular radio feature "The Huckabee Report," Pat Reeder has amassed thousands of actual news stories about people doing incredibly stupid things. Using skills honed from his days in corporate training and communications, he breaks these hilarious stories of failure and humiliation down into nine basic categories of dumb mistakes that everyone makes again and again. The "reverse self-help book," "Nine Hallmarks of Highly Incompetent Losers," hilariously illustrates how everyone from dumb criminals to corporate CEOs to world leaders falls prey to the same simple mistakes -- "Never Plan Ahead," "Lose Sight Of Your Goal," etc. -- and the only difference is the scale of the ensuing catastrophe. While this book cannot teach you how to succeed, it can teach you how to fail. Once you have the road map to Failure, it's easier to avoid. From the man who killed his lice by shampooing with gasoline and drying his hair over a wood stove, to the TV host who lost his show for screaming profanity at kittens... from impenetrable jargon to ridiculous "zero tolerance" policies..."Nine Hallmarks of Highly Incompetent Losers" is a handy primer in common sense and critical thinking presented in a form that will make you laugh until your nose bleeds.

The Earl of Essex was the last great favorite of Elizabeth I and the leading cultural patron of the final years of her reign. Dazzled by the "romantic" relationship with the queen, modern writers have branded Essex a dandy, a military incompetent, and a political dabbler, and have blamed him for the bitter factionalism that plagued English politics in the 1590s. Using an unparalleled range of manuscript and printed sources, this book presents a very different image of Essex and of the outbreak of factionalism in Elizabethan politics.

This book is the most comprehensive treatment available of one of the most urgent--and yet in some respects most neglected--problems in bioethics: decisionmaking for incompetents. Part I develops a general theory for making treatment and care decisions for patients who are not competent to decide for themselves. It provides an in-depth analysis of competence, articulates and defends a coherent set of principles to specify suitable surrogate decisionmakers and to guide their choices, examines the value of advance directives, and investigates the role that considerations of cost ought to play in decisions concerning incompetents. Part II applies this theoretical framework to the distinctive problems of three important classes of individuals, many of whom are incompetent: minors, the elderly, and psychiatric patients. The authors' approach combines a probing analysis of fundamental issues in ethical theory with a sensitive awareness of the concrete realities of health care institutions and the highly personal and individual character of difficult practical problems. Its broad scope will appeal to health professionals, moral philosophers and lawyers alike.
