## About this episode

Adam Curry announces his separation and pending divorce after 22 years of marriage, addressing the personal impact on his family and the No Agenda community. Broadcasting from the Empire Hotel in New York City, Curry confirms his commitment to the show’s value-for-value model despite recent subscription cancellations. The host details his recent move toward a sober lifestyle and a clean diet while preparing for the upcoming 100th episode in Amsterdam.

President Barack Obama faces criticism for a proposed prolonged detention policy regarding Guantanamo Bay, which critics like Rachel Maddow have labeled a pre-crime system. In the media world, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd is accused of plagiarizing Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo, a move that mirrors the 1987 scandal Dowd herself broke regarding Joe Biden. Meanwhile, North Korea declares the 1953 armistice void following South Korea’s participation in the Proliferation Security Initiative, effectively returning the peninsula to a state of war. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has responded by labeling the nuclear tests and military threats as belligerent and provocative. Domestically, the California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 8, maintaining the ban on same-sex marriage despite political pressure from San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.

John C. Dvorak recounts a frustrating encounter with Google staffer Megan Hughes, who denied him entry to the Google I/O conference due to a rigid 9:00 AM registration deadline. The hosts also examine the legal battle over Pringles, where Procter & Gamble argued in a UK court that the product is not a potato chip to avoid Value-Added Tax. Adam Curry shares his distrust of automated flight systems, recalling a Eurocopter that booted into a Windows-based interface.

The hosts discuss the technical risks of accidental plagiarism in professional writing, such as misidentifying old notes as original thoughts. An anecdote is shared regarding a reporter for The Scotsman who allegedly plagiarized Matt Cottle's Gamesweasel blog for six months. They conclude that while freelancers can be difficult to track, reputable papers usually fire columnists caught in such scandals.

### 6. Color-Coding Research, Spice Book Production Techniques (16:34–18:31)

A host describes a research technique used during the production of a new spice book to prevent accidental plagiarism.

This method is presented as a safeguard when synthesizing multiple recipes, such as those for chimichurri sauce.

### 7. Pringles VAT Ruling, Potato Content Legal Dispute (18:33–20:31)

Britain's Court of Appeal ruled that Pringles contain enough potato to be legally classified as potato chips, making them subject to Value-Added Tax (VAT). Manufacturer Procter & Gamble had argued the product was not a potato chip in an attempt to claim a tax exemption. The hosts find it ironic that a company would fight to prove its product lacks the primary ingredient it is known for.

The hosts analyze a 1968 speech by Robert F. Kennedy featured in a PBS American Experience documentary.

A news clip from the Salinas Valley describes a woman, Maria Alejo, who had to identify her stolen 1994 Acura in a newspaper photo despite the car being in a police lot. The hosts criticize the California Highway Patrol for not contacting the owner directly via registration or VIN records. They speculate that police departments may intentionally delay notifications to profit from storage fees or vehicle auctions.

John C. Dvorak recounts being denied entry to the Google Developers Conference (Google I/O) due to a strict 9:00 AM registration deadline. He describes the interaction with Google staff, specifically Megan Hughes, as an example of a "robotic" corporate culture where employees are unable to make independent decisions. Dvorak suggests this rigid bureaucracy indicates a decline in the company's innovative spirit.

### 15. North Korea Armistice Threat, State of War Declaration (43:03–46:09)

North Korea announced it is no longer bound by the 1953 armistice that ended the Korean War, effectively returning the peninsula to a state of war. This escalation follows South Korea's decision to join the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) to search vessels for weapons of mass destruction. The North warned that any attempt to search its ships would result in a military strike.

The California Supreme Court upheld the ban on same-sex marriage established by Proposition 8. The hosts discuss the political fallout, including the role of religious voters and the "taunting" rhetoric of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.

### 23. PPIP Banking Scam, Toxic Asset Buybacks (1:10:32–1:12:01)

The Wall Street Journal reports that the banking industry is lobbying the FDIC to allow banks to use taxpayer aid to buy back their own toxic assets.

They claim the program allows banks to clear their books while the taxpayer assumes 80% of the risk with little upside.

As Bernard Madoff's June 17 sentencing approaches, the hosts speculate on the location of the missing $50 billion.

Curry predicts the eventual creation of an international banker's court to handle such financial crimes.
