    A 90’s era new age grifter is a right winger? No way!

    I forget who said it, but “when I die, I want to be cremated and to have someone blow my ashes into uri gellars eyes”

      James Randi

      Though he remained a dyed-in-the-wool rationalist to the last, Mr. Randi did have a contingency plan for the hereafter, as he told New Times in 2009. “I want to be cremated,” he said. “And I want my ashes blown in Uri Geller’s eyes.”

      It’s from his NYT obit which I’m about to read now.

        Unfortunately, Randi was a rabid social Darwinist[1], climate denier, and unserious grifter.
