More Sentence Drawings

I posted a few weeks back on Stephanie Posavec's interesting graphics constructed from the text of Kerouac’s On the Road. One of her pieces featured Sentence Drawings that were generated using each sentence in sequence with line segments coloured to reflect the topic and sized based on the length of the sentence.

David Sparks has constructed a set of similar sentence drawings for the State of the Union addresses delivered by Bush over his 8 years in office.

I find these interesting to look at. However, the dominant visual feature is the overall shape of the graphic and I don't think it really expresses anything useful.
