I just wanted to do this post to say that I've really been enjoying Roger Ebert's Journal (i.e. blog) of late, particularly when he's NOT discussing movies. Of course, I realize it's not like he's an obscure fledgling blogger, that he doesn't need my recognition or help, but I only just discovered his blog for myself this summer and I'm really glad I did.
He seems to post about every four or five days and he does quite lengthy entries. Agree or disagree with him, but I think he usually gives readers plenty to ponder.
Here are four of his recent efforts I've particularly enjoyed...
August 12: Finding my own voice
August 17: "Death Panels." A most excellent term.
August 20: I'm safe on board. Pull up the life rope.
(This is a sequel to his "Death Panels" post.)
August 25: My Name is Roger, and I'm an alcoholic
Anyway, for what it's worth I highly recommend his blog, especially if you're ever looking for something with a little more "meat" to it, not just the typical snark-and-run style of so many bloggers.

As one of the snark-and-run (LOL! a perfect phrase!) bloggers, I too enjoy Ebert's thoughtful and personal musings -- and, yes, just like you, more so when they are not film-related. To think of it, you introduced me to Ebert's Journal, DimSkip. Thanks! :)
You're quite welcome, Elizabeth... I just knew Ebert's recent musings on the healthcare issue were right up your alley. Mine too.
