chir.ag— Presidential speeches have been tagged and clouded. The words used most are large. Use the slider to see different presidents and their buzzwords. Surprisingly, W's most used word is TERRORIST.

@vvvvNo need to be a prick. I didn't see that the article linked to the text of the speech, but I DID Google the title of the speech, found multiple links to it from britannica.com, but every single one of 'em errored out when I clicked on 'em:("While trying to retrieve the URL: <a class="user" href="http://www.britannica.com/presidents/article-9116900">http://www.britannica.com/presidents/article-9116900</a> The following error was encountered: Unable to determine IP address from host name for www.britannica.com The dnsserver returned: Server Failure: The name server was unable to process this query.")As I wasn't able to see the text for myself, I asked.Also: I'm replying to a post wherein someone asked about the inclusion of the word "breasts" in one of the speeches. As pointed out above, there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for "breasts," so the assumption is that there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for "whores" in this one. That does not change the fact, however, that it's rather amusing to point out words such as "breasts" and "whores" showing up in presidential speeches.

Cool site, but the slider needs to stand out more. Everyone it sent it to kept asking "where's the slider?"

I liked watching the word "resolve" under Bush get bigger and bigger and then... *poof* it was gone. He lost his resolve.
