No Agenda - Revisited: Episode 14 re-reviews No Agenda from Sunday, January 27, 2008 — a show recorded a day late, with Adam in a hotel room and John at home in rainy Northern California, nine days before Super Tuesday. Each claim is checked twice: against what was known at the time, and against what we know now.• John — Yerba Buena Island used to be called Goat Island, officially, from 1895 to 1931. Correct.• One of the hosts — Verbatim's gold archival discs, made for 100 years of archiving: the product is real, the century is the maker's promise. Mixed.• John — Obama won the South Carolina primary the day before, with 55.4 percent. Correct.• John — the prediction: a Hillary-Obama ticket, "totally unelectable," then McCain with Romney: Obama won it all instead, with Biden, 365 to 173. Incorrect.• Adam — Ron Paul came in second somewhere: Nevada, January 19, 2008, ahead of McCain. Correct.• Adam — the February 5th money bomb would raise five million: no five-million day ever came. Incorrect.• John — only five left in the Republican race: Giuliani, Romney, Huckabee, McCain, and Paul. Correct.• John — Huckabee's plan to drop the income tax for a consumption tax: the FairTax, his signature proposal. Correct.• Adam — Belgium's VAT is 21 percent. Correct.• John — Ron Paul's four-point plan, Fed openness and televised meetings plus Sarbanes-Oxley repeal, quoted word for word. Correct.• John — Sarbanes-Oxley is named after two men in Congress: Senator Sarbanes and Representative Oxley. Correct.• Adam — Neelie Kroes and her husband's scandal: his Rotterdam expenses affair was real, but she was never accused. Mixed.• Adam — the EU busting cartels, paraffin wax included: the 676-million-euro paraffin bust landed nine months later.
