State of the Union Applause on it's Way Down

I'd like to see other graphs along these lines, perhaps number of times terror is mentioned in each one? I wonder if that would have been increasing or decreasing or remaining constant. The good thing is applause should be way up at the next State of the Union Address, as there will be a new more eloquent speaker. Unless he finally makes it official and declares himself emperor. Nice graph came by way of Crooks & Liars.
