The issue here isn’t whether ‘The Dude’ post dated the check, nor is it what date Papa Bush gave what speech… To those who choose to dismiss the check’s date as mere coincidence, I must point out how NOTHING happens in a film without the Director wanting it to happen, based upon the vision of the Writers (the Coen Brothers). The FACT that the check’s date does NOT match the historical date of Bush’s speech in the background calls attention to a seemingly trivial matter — the check’s 9/11 date — which I feel was done on purpose. That’s right — the mistake was made intentionally! T’was a subversive act against our oppressive Government, just as the Sixties Radicals, ‘The Chicago Seven’ or ‘The Seattle Seven’ might have done. The Jeff Lebowski character is based upon a real life Sixties activist, Jeff Dowd, who was once a member of the ‘Seattle Seven’ and now is a Hollywood Producer.

All you douchebags parsing this BS and the fact is that the Coen Bros. f__d it up!! Saddam invaded Kuwait in 1990 and Bush 41 made those comments in 1990, not 1991 like the Dude’s check says. You might say, “So much for your conspiracy theories,” but I would say, “That’s just like your opinion, man.”

yeah, and? sept 11 1991 was the date when bush senior made that speech. of course its going to be the date on the check. (

and it was also the date of a cia-funded chile coupe in the 70′s)..

The account number on the check adds up to 42. Bush 41 appears at exactly 3:22 on the time code. The film begins on the early morning of Aug.6/90, 24 years after groundbreaking at WTC, Aug.5/66.

All u r talking about is the check! What about the scene, his dream! Where Saddam handed him the shoes, and then there were the subliminal twin towers. I need to watch it, or I guess youtube it again, but I know the shoes were showing 9 and 11 if I remember correctly too. youtube it!
