Hmm, never used the word "gay" or "homosexual". "Black" appears three times, all in the form of "blackmail". "Muslim" didn't appear until 2007, though Islam appeared 9 times (5 in 2002). "Diplomacy" wasn't used until 2004. "stay the course", interestingly, was never used. "Retreat" first appeared in 2006 (6 times). "smart" never appears. "tax" appears a round 100 times (dipping to a low of 7 in 2002).
 
never used "katrina" nor "hurricane". "terrorist" 76. "terror", 154, contasted with "caution", 0. "health", 78, oddly the 2004 election year peak of 18 being tied again in 2007.
 
never used "physics", "chemistry", or "biology", though "math" appears 15 times.
