i confess, i haven't bothered watching much of the conventions or even much tv news lately. pretty much all i've been seeing is the occasional youtube link and whatever's on the tv news at the gym. i've been mostly using text news and speech transcripts.

but if you, like me, missed the video from both conventions... here, via [livejournal.com profile] evwhore, is the democratic and republican conventions distilled down to about a minute each.

it's pretty awesome.

oh, and for extra fun, a look at the word frequency per 25000 words from each convention from the new york times

omg, that was funny, thank you. I had no idea that 'promise' and 'fight' were used so frequently :)

What I want to know is how to combine that with the "things to say during sex" flowchart.

Besides being hilarious that's actually quite revealing.

Nice! Particularly amusing that only Democrats mentioned Cheney or Bush.
