California references
In the commentary you Bill oakley tells us that one of the reasons they started the episode with a bear because at the time California had a problem when some bears would rome neighberhoods in search of food. another refrence to California in this episode is California at the time, had a problem with so many illegal immigrannts. They even threatend to take away all medicare from immigrants. This is one reason they made this episode at the current time.
