I hate it when this happens....but then it is historic

I hate it when this happens....but then it's the president's State of the Onion speech. You try to follow a link an then the next thing you find you have to register to read the friggin thing!
Now I can see the reason that the New York Times has the entire speech on their website. But lets get real here. Someone must have a lot of Time on their hands (Pun intended) to create a program that counts every word supposedly uttered in all seven of his historic spiels. For example he mentioned Iraq/Iraqi(s) 34 times in the 2007 speech but only twice in 2002. And Social Security fell from 18 times in 2005 to only twice last night. Would you believe that the phrase "homleand security" wasn't mentioned at all last night.
So if you already have a New York Times username/password or if you just have to see all the word stats...proceed at your own risk!
