- At the Veterans of Popular Wars building, the elders are making US flags using clothes. Bart says that the flags may content the name of the clothing company Jordach.
Trivia
- Bart mispronounces Kearney's name on air (instead of saying "kur-nee", he pronounces it the way it's spelled), suggesting that he is reading from cue cards and that the news broadcast is live and open to errors.

Goofs
