First In, Last Out

James Randi has just come out. At the ripe age of 81, the pseudoscience skeptic and debunker who writes the ever entertaining and informative Swift blog decided that it was time:

I should apologize for having used Swift as the venue to publish this note, an item that is hardly the focus of what we promote and publish here, but I chose the single most public asset I have to make this statement. It’s from here that I have attacked irrationality, stupidity, and irresponsibility, and it is my broadest platform. Here is where I have chosen to stand and fight.

And I think that I have already won this battle by simply publishing this statement.

Bravo!
