Million words?

[Geoffrey Nunberg]

There was another one of these just the other day in the National
Post. I've had a Google News alert out on this guy for a while and
have been making a point of writing to every journalist who cites him
to tell them that the man is a charlatan -- I want to see as a point
of interest whether it is in fact possible to bring a quack like this
down. In my notes I include the following list of URL's.

There's also Payack's Wikipedia entry to be dealt with at some point:
