commentary

Dear Mr. Randi, In your commentary at the link below, you quote some paragraphs from Dr. Puthoff, attributing it to something else. However, I believe you erred in citation. You see, those comments by Puthoff were to me in a private email, which I posted to your JREF forum. I can even show...

Is that it's not there. What's the deal?

On his commentary, didn't self censor Bullsh!t. If that is a word that some software would block a site for, Randi just blocked his site. :(

Many of you have probably seen the following paper by Barbara Starfield, published in JAMA: http://www.som.tulane.edu/departments/fammed/t3/ushealth.pdf In this paper she takes the US health industry to task. In particular, she uses some statistics to reach the conclusion that iatrogenic...

There is a great story in Randi's Commentary last week.. Commentary A young Atheist, Jacob Spinney, is invited to a Christian retreat with a theme of: "Christianity is a thinking persons religion." After presenting the guest speaker, Tom Short, with a rebuttal to his book.. " 5 Crucial...

In the latest commentary there's this 'graph: Note the words in bold--what's that all about ? or Teh ? (Internet Game Geek translation)

:confused: Why? Does Randi have too many religious duties to perform? "Will all Brights please be seated........." :(

Has anyone else noticed the URL for the commentary has been changed so you can no longer edit it and get the next one before it goes live? The 28th November URL now offers the word 'linda' after the date, and presumably this will change every week. Oh well - we'll just have to wait for the...

I wanna hear your comments on what is said at: http://www.raptureready.com/rap16.html Cause I believe the TBN Punks are greedy and are doing it for the money and power and not trying to serve the Lord Jesus Christ whom they claim to serve. Plus,I am outraged that these spawns of Robert...

I've sent e mails to Randi clarifying the highly probable cause of the Space mystery" so called "discovery" by Astronaut Ed Lu, which Randi seems gaga over in his 11/7 commentary. I thought perhaps he would update this item, but hasn't so far. With commentary language and phrases like...

Is there no commentary this week? Or does he sometimes post it later in the day? Or does anyone know?

Check your local PBS station. Tonight's NOVA (8pm Eastern here) is about the Archimedes Palimpsest, which The Amazing One spoke of a week or so ago. (Man...just think how spooky that would be, to actually hold a document written personally by Archimedes...).

--------------- Mars is visible up there every August? Now, that would be news! The lame appeal to "cycles," that notion so popular with occultists and second only to "vibrations" — neither of which they understand — and the inclusion of "nature" for validity, show the reporters attempts to...

I loved this weeks commentary and am just sad that I haven't had time to make a thread concerning it sooner. I think Randi hit the nail right on the head, especially with the materialist issue. The Burden of Proof is on immaterialists, Randi clearly points out. Randi was also more outspoken and...

Randi wrote: <blockquote> Adam and Eve, they said, were the original humans, plunked down in a garden to start our species going. But I didn't understand, and still don't, that they had only two children, both sons — and one of them killed the other — yet somehow they produced enough people to...

Good commentary this week, many useable quotes. Really like the part that some of histories “great” thinkers had notions about the universe such as the Earth having a soul and so forth, that were common among the “faithful” that are now seen as complete nonsense, even to the most rabid fundies...

Here is a sneak peak... one word chosen out of the whole commentary...: dowsing

Apparently "no one knows what GMTV stands for". I'm pretty sure however that it stands for "Good Morning TV". :)

This is a comment about the first topic on the May 23, 2003 comentary. I know I'm a week late, but I was on vacation. In this topic, Mr. Randi prints a letter he received from Dave Nesbitt. (To summarize: Mr Nesbitt had chronic back pain. He went to several doctors, including some back...

?? M

I wonder what he had to say. Perhaps he went shopping? Who knows. But I guess I never know. :confused:

That s all I have to say about that

Is it just me, or is the current Commentary, especially enlightening and enjoyable?

Hi all, My apologies if this has already been dealt with, but I can't find any messages regarding this. Can anyone tell me what's up with last Friday's commentary? Even when Randi's been off travelling, he's managed to get something out. I hope he's not ill. :(
