I love this idea. The St. Louis Post Dispatch did a little post production of their own after Gov. Jay Nixon’s State of the State address on January 20. With a tip of the hat to that great VH1 series, “Pop-Up Video,” the Pop-Up edition of the State of the State mixed in fact-checking with trivia. It’s an entertaining and informative way to watch a speech – and it helps give some context to the address as well. There’s a good mix of hard facts and humor here. Above the various pop-up facts in the upper right is a counter that tells you how many times the speakers said “Missour-AH” vs “Missour-EE.” (“Missour-AH” won.) The site also carries a transcript of the speech and used that to build a Wordle. Great stuff.
It’s Missour-AH, not Missour-EE…
