Did the Dude postdate his check? - Man Wearing Red Fitted Cap and Brown and Gray Plaid Collared Hsirt

This will not stand. This will not stand, this aggression against Kuwait.

President George H.W. Bush, 5 August 1990

In the opening scenes of The Big Lebowski, we see the dude walking around Ralph's, a convenience store, buying a pack of milk and paying with a cheque.
Behind the cashier, president George Bush sr. is seen on television, answering questions about the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. The fragment is from 5 August 1990.
Yet the cheque the Dude writes, is dated more than a year later: 11 September 1991.

So either the Dude postdated his cheque, or the fragment was a repeat.

Was that fragment routinely repeated, even over a year later? Or did the Dude postdate his cheque?

I'm asking this because of my other question, about how much time passes in the film.
