"I Don't Need No Scruples" is a collection of humorous columns dealing with first dates, trashy Christmas decorations, boobies, underpants, the God Particle, and a horse named Sphincter, among other things. These ravings present a view of the world that is both twisted and insightful, and may cause one to laugh out loud or exclaim WTF.

I Don't Need No Stinkin' Culture" takes a skewed look at a variety of topics, such as teachers' underwear, PBS, unique dating sites, holidays and elfin maidens. This humorous and opinionated collection is both enlightening and educational, as well as downright strange, and seeks to answer such burning questions as Jimmy Dean - Sausage King or Savior? Michael's stream-of-consciousness writing style reveals an inquistive mind that can best be described as way-past-normal. The influence of writers such as Mark Twain, Christopher Moore, Dave Barry and Dr. Hunter S. Thompson contribute to the author's unique satirical approach to everyday conundrums.

This open access book compares the experiences of large-scale military procurement in Canada and Australia. Focusing on the recent frigate and jet-fighter programmes, it demonstrates how delays suffered in delivering weapons systems and platforms in these countries have been caused by misalignments between the strategic requirements set out by the armed forces and government defence policies. By bringing the insights of public management and administration to those of defence studies, the book presents policy options that will help improve the nature of future large-project military procurement. It will appeal to scholars and students of public administration, public management, and defence studies, as well as practitioners and policymakers.
