Filling Randi’s very big shoes

’Actually, since Randi’s kind of a little guy, I suspect his feet aren’t too big either. But his shoes are vast, and I am not the man to walk in them. Well, not very far, at least.

Since Randi’s out of commission temporarily (he’s withstood Uri Geller and Sylvia Brown; it’ll take more than a heart attack to stop him), he has guest columnists filling in for him on his weekly commentary. This week was my turn, and I submitted a stream-of-consciousness diatribe that is churning away at me: the attack on science that I’ve been beating here on this blog as well. I still have quite a bit to say about this, so stick around over the coming weeks. Maybe you’ll get to see my head explode.’
