I got this email containing a series of links to a parsing tool that measures the number of times specific words were mentioned in the State of the Union speeches. Thanks Shawn for passing this my way!

I can't stop running words through the State of the Union Parsing Tool:

results from Bush's five SOTU addresses and his 2001 special address to
