Thought we could all have a little fun with the State of the Union tonight. Let’s try to guess how many times the President uses a derivative of the word terror (the word itself or words using the root ‘terror’ must be uttered–implicit remarks do not count). I have listed the tally for the last five SOU below.

2001-1 (technically, just an Address of Congress as Rodger points out)
2002-37
2003-23
2004-21
2005-28

I will start the bidding at 25 (NSA wiretapping controversy, Iraq, and Iran not to mention a sagging approval rating all loom large). Let’s use Price is Right rules–closest without going over. Comments must be posted by 9pm eastern standard time to qualify. Let the games begin!
