One of the teaser headlines in the local Richmond (VA) newspaper reads "Nation: HOMELAND SECURITY 'PUCE ALERT' added to existing spectrum", with "PUCE ALERT" in puce.
In the Richmond Daily Tribune, the Local Police Hiring article includes the following: In addition to the twenty new officers is the proposed purchase of 4 used El Caminos that will be converted into police cars. The vehicles will come from Del's Used Car Emporium on route 6, owned and operated by Binders (sic) brother Delworth Binder. Some eyebrows were raised at this announcement by members of the community and council alike. Binders (sic) only comment was "Well they got to come from somewhere, and at least I know I can trust Del to give us a good deal." Earlier in the article, it listed Carl Binder as the mayor of Edison; Carl Binder was Creative Consultant for this episode. The article continued on page 4c under the heading "Nepotism".
