The often maligned bureaucrat is the subject of many criticisms. In Cooper Zucketto's case, such criticisms may be well deserved—bombastic, crass, and undiplomatic chief among them. In his latest dispatch from the world of government, author Mike Tedesco weaves another rib-tickling tale courtesy of his own bureaucratic experience. "The Official Bureaucrat's Guide for Navigating Bureaucracy (OBGNB)" will have government employees nodding their heads in agreement and citizens shaking their heads in disbelief as Zucketto stumbles into one farce after another.

About the author: Mike Tedesco is a recovering bureaucrat now residing in Spokane, Washington. Prior to his recovery, he practiced economic development in Colorado, as well as obtained a master’s degree in Urban Planning from the University of Kansas.
