I typically use 
    pbpaste | wc
as a command in Terminal.app to count the words and characters on the 
clipboard. But Terminal is always open and ready on this machine.

It would be fairly easy to create an AppleScript application using "do shell 
script" which does that with the result that you could "copy"  or "COMMAND C" 
the text you're interested in and execute the script.

   man wc
for details.
