My guess is Charles Krauthammer debuts UpChuck any day now.

Can I make three guesses? Well, I guess you can't stop me, you can only delete me.

Here are three guesses:

Marc Cooper, Ron Rosenbaum, or Mark Steyn.

How about Sports Guy Bill Simmons, the only other guy besides Easterbrook on ESPN's Page 2 worth reading?

Hugh Hefner. Ok, fine, I'm hoping for that more than anything else.

i'm still holding out for hunter s. thompson myself. not sure if that quite counts as the next big thinker, but maybe.

1. Steyn already has his own site, and although it's mostly a clearinghouse for his geographically dispersed columns, the letters page does have some new content each week.

2. Simmons had a blog before blogs were cool, the now-defunct Boston Sports Guy site (1996-2001), which had daily links & commentary, articles, reader mail, caption contests, etc. (Bill also ran my weekly baseball column, which is how I got started on the net). He has been headed in the opposite direction with the TV writing, and most of the stuff he used to do that doesn't go in his columns is either (1) unacceptable to the ESPN suits, (2) too Boston-centric for a national audience, or (3) stuff he found too much trouble on a daily grind.

3. I'd love to see John McCain or Dennis Miller have a blog. Stephen Carter would be well-suited to the highbrow-blog format. Not sure who I'd predict, though.
