The title of this episode refers to the theoretical extremes of how a nation may choose to spend its money, "Guns" (all defense and no food) or "Butter" (all food and no defense). (edit)

Barlet: Turn around causually and tell me if Le Vicomte de Valvert's got his hands near anyone who's related to me.
C.J.: That's a good-looking young man.
Barlet: Zoey!
Zoey: I don't respond when you shout.
Barlet: Yeah? I think you'd respond if I stopped feeding you! (edit) Will: You like that stat?
Josh: I do.
Will: Why?
Josh: Because nine percent think it's too high and shouldn't be cut. Nine percent of respondents could not fully get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input." (edit) Will: I will take my hazing like the Eton valedictorian I am. (edit)

The Senator who offers Toby a vote for foreign aid in exchange for funding a study of prayer refers to Duke as a non-sectarian school. Duke is actually a United Methodist school, complete with a full United Methodist seminary. (edit)
