Let me count the ways..

From the blog of a law student at HLS:



Fun with the State of the Union and a Word Frequency tool I found on the Internet:



1. The most common word used in the State of the Union was "the" -- 284 times.

2. The most common real word was "America" -- 37 times. "American" and "Americans" each 14 times as well.

3. Iraq was said 17 times.

4. Women = 8 Times. Men = 7 Times. A victory for feminism.

5. War = 12; Peace = 4.

6. Terrorists = 10; Friends = 5.

7. Love = 2; Hate = 0

8. Life = 4; Death = 2

9. Seniors = 8; Medicare = 8

10. God = 3; Science = 3

11. Abstinence = 2; Lonely = 2

12. Space = 0

13. Right = 9; Left = 4

14. Long = 4; Members = 5; Sexually = 2

15. Former = 1; Farmers = 1

16. Millons = 6; Billions = 1; Zillions = 0

17. Good = 8; Evil = 1

18. I = 34; You = 49

19. Finish = 1
