Synopsis

Wacky Political Moments explores history's most bizarre political episodes, revealing how seemingly minor missteps can trigger major consequences. It's not just about funny stories; it’s an examination of the fragility of power and the chaos that can lie beneath political order. For instance, a speech about turnips once nearly caused a constitutional crisis, highlighting how easily things can go awry. The book uses these political absurdities as a lens to understand critical moments often overlooked.

 
This book delves into the psychology behind political decision-making, especially during times of stress. It examines how leaders react to the unexpected and what cognitive biases influence their choices, providing insights into decisions that seem irrational in hindsight.

 
Beginning with a definition of "wacky" in politics, the book moves through history, focusing on rhetorical gaffes, unusual leadership decisions, and international incidents caused by miscommunication. By studying these moments, readers gain a deeper understanding of power dynamics and the impact of human error on political stability.

    The next-true life NCIS story from New York Times bestselling authors Mark Harmon and Leon Carroll, Jr.  
    Read by the author. 
    Panama, 1989. The once warm relationship between United States and Gen. Manuel Noriega has eroded dangerously. Newly elected President George Bush has declared the strongman a drug trafficker and a rigger of elections. Intimidation on the streets is a daily reality for U.S. personnel and their families. The nation is a powder keg.  
    Naval Investigative Service (NIS) Special Agent Rick Yell has worked the job in Panama since 1986, and lives there with his wife Annya and infant child. Like most NIS agents, he’s a civilian with no military rank with a specialty in working criminal cases. The dynamic changes suddenly when Yell inadvertently develops an intelligence source with unparalleled access to the Noriega regime. Now the agent is thrust into a world of spy-versus-spy, of secret meetings and hidden documents.  
    Yell’s source – known as “The Old Man” – warns when Cuban military personnel arrive and identifies anti-American officers within the Panamanian Defense Forces, provides information about an imprisoned CIA asset and helps track Noriega’s movements, agitating for the dictator’s kidnapping. The reports created by Yell and his NIS colleagues shape the decisions made in Washington D.C., CIA headquarters in Langley and the innermost sanctums of Pentagon. 
    The powder keg is lit on December 16, 1989, when a young U.S. Marine is gunned down at a checkpoint in Panama City. Yell and his cadre of trusted agents deploy immediately to investigate the killing, and what they determine will decide the fate of two nations. When President Bush hears the details they uncover, he orders an invasion that puts Yell’s family, informants and fellow agents directly in harm’s way.    
    Using a blend of research and interviews with the NIS agents who were directly involved, Ghosts of Panama reveals the untold, clandestine story of counterintelligence professionals placed in a pressure cooker assignment of historic proportions.

    After a memorable night with my straighter than straight friend, Milton, who I had loved for years, a minor accident happened the next morning, causing me to lose a small portion of my memory. Though I regained them within a couple of days, I debated on whether I should keep it a secret or not. We both felt uncomfortable afterwards, so I wondered if feigning ignorance was the right choice and if it was, what was to come next?

    When we hear “philosophy,” we sometimes think of incomprehensible or boring books. The very names of the authors are unpronounceable: Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger. Living or dead, they often look like zombies. They are in their own world and use words that we do not always understand, like “idiosyncrasy,” “ontological,” or “transcendental.” In this book, we hope to remove these prejudices. Philosophy is not boring; it allows us to understand complex things in a simple way, and therefore it is never far from everyday life. It speaks to everyone. It is for everyone.
