Answer 1

If you want to remove all yes, you may do this :

$(function(){
   $('em').each(function(){
      $(this).html($(this).html().replace(/yes/g, ''));
   });
});

Demonstration

If you want to remove all text nodes, you may do this :

$('em').contents().filter(function() {
    return this.nodeType == 3;
}).remove();​
