Observations:
1. His "badnews" page has a link to a "JMcCanney". That guy goes on and on about the plasma theory of comets. And how NASA is out to get him.

McCanney has offered an intriguing theory about the impending demise of the Hubble Space Telescope. Rather than being decommissioned, he suggests the telescope may actually be covertly taken over by the military.

I can't locate that at the McCanney site for more details.
2. A link to NOAA about "rapid and dramatic changes in climate", or "abrupt climate changes". I went to the NOAA site - an abrupt change is defined as taking place over decades or centuries. Not exactly "The Day After Tomorrow".
3. On Wayne's frontpage is a reference to making colloidal silver "natural antibiotic".
4. On 6/8/04, Iraq Solution

This is the best solution to our problems in Iraq I’ve seen yet. It could even stop all the bombing in Israel. The solution came via email from my old friend Art Housholder, a legend in the ham radio repeater revolution which gave the world cell telephones.
It seems that General Black Jack Pershing, who was made general of our armies in 1919, got fed up with Muslin extremists terrorist attacks on US forces in the Philippines just before WWI. So he captured 50 terrorists and had them tied to posts. He had his men bring in a couple pigs and slaughter them in front of the terrorists. Touching pigs or their byproducts means they’d be barred from paradise, including those seven virgins, and doomed forever to hell. The soldiers soaked their bullets in the pig’s blood and executed 49 of the terrorists. They then dug a hole, threw the terrorist’s bodies in and covered them with pigs blood and entrails. They let the 50th go and for the next 42 years there wasn’t a single Muslim extremist attack anywhere in the world.
So let’s start collecting pigs blood and guts and send them to Iraq. We could even have our ammunition made with a couple drops of pigs blood in the hollow points. And whenever a martyr blows himself up we should carefully collect all the body parts we can and publicly bury them in pig’s blood and guts. No virgins for these suckers.
Isn’t it better to outsmart the terrorists than trying to outfight them?

Funny. Here's what snopes has to say

We haven't eliminated ruling out the possibility that Pershing at some point chose to deal with a group of "Mohammedan fanatics" in a manner similar to the one described above, but so far all we've turned up are several different accounts and nothing that documents Pershing's involvement.

The terrorists who hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 were reportedly seen partaking of alcohol and engaging the services of naked lap dancers, activities which should have been anathema to true Muslims. Perhaps they were Muslims in name only, maybe they weren't all that devout, or possibly they rationalized that Allah would overlook their transgressions with booze and women since they were about to die in the service of Islam. Whatever the case, concerns about the afterlife probably wouldn't have dissuaded the hijackers from their plans to crash Flight 11 into the World Trade Center had a few pigs turned up on board the plane. If Allah was a concern, well, the hijackers could choose to believe that Allah would understand and make allowances for true warriors of the faith — after all, the Koran teaches against suicide in the first place.

Palestinian Muslims reacted with scorn to the idea, saying the soul went to paradise and was unaffected by any taint to the body.
"The keys to heaven are not in the hands of settlers," said Sheikh Hassan Youssef, for Hamas, whose military wing has sent dozens of suicide bombers into Israel.
Islamic reference books say the body of a martyr who dies for the faith is so pure that it does not need to be washed before burial, in contrast to the usual Muslim practice.

In other words, it's a load. It's funny to think of turning the tables and using their fanatacism against them, but ultimately too simplistic and ineffective.
