The NYTimes has a fun online tool up following White House Resident Bush's State Of The Union addy from last night. You can type in a word and it quickly shows you how many times that word occurred in each of his SOTU speeches. For instance, he used the word "economy" 23 times in last year's speech, but only 8 this year. In his first speech back in '01, Bush said the words "terror", "terrorist" and "terrorists" just three times, one apiece. Since then he's used them collectively a total of 286 times. Interestingly enough, he has never, in any of the 7 addresses, uttered the words "yummy", "taxidermist" or "slurp".
