Over in this (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51004) thread, these words made me laugh out loud:

Williams said Thursday he understands that critics could find the arrangement unethical, but "I wanted to do it because it's something I believe in."

Takes a quarter of a million dollars to put that belief into action?

Whomever authorized the payment needs to be fired and/or prosecuted.

I have no idea if there is a law involved -- as opposed to an ethical breach alone -- but at the very least he/she/they should be out on the street.

Looks like the right-wing propoganda machine will have to scrape the barrel for another token afro-spokesman.
