Topic: Juan De Fuca Strait

A near-collision between the nuclear submarine USS Kentucky and a cargo ship in the Juan de Fuca Strait is discussed. The hosts find it significant that the commanding officer, Joseph Nosey, was reported as being "fired" rather than "relieved of duty." They suggest this linguistic shift reflects the creeping corporatization and militarization of the country.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the program by mocking mainstream media coverage of a predicted tsunami following a Pacific earthquake. They highlight a specific CNN broadcast where a hostess reportedly asked for a translation of "meters into English." The discussion critiques the sensationalism of 24-hour news cycles and the public's reliance on networks like CNN and Fox News for disaster entertainment.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak conclude the episode with a final exchange regarding their healthcare debate. Curry reiterates his call for doctors to stand up against the current system, while Dvorak remains cynical about the possibility of reform. They sign off with their traditional location tags and a reminder for the upcoming Thursday show.
