Interlude: Bloggin' Like the Do-Dah Man

Although I pretty much know what I want to post next, I've spent so much time in the past day or two visiting what are to me new blogs, here and here, that I haven't gotten around to it.
I have never added a blogroll at this site because many of the blogs that I regularly visit are either primarily political in nature, or are sectarian. I don't mean for Rodak Riffs to be a place of controversy. I hope that it will be a place where visitors might learn something, find something new to contemplate, and, in turn, leave something here to be learned and contemplated.
This does not mean that I don't like to argue, because I do. While I don't want to add a permanent blogroll to this site, I will now provide any person who stumbles across this post with one-time-only links to some of the places I visit on a fairly regular basis either to argue, or to find ammunition for use in arguments elsewhere.
These places are here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here.
Please visit them. Bookmark them. Read them and comment. Make some new friends. Tell 'em Rodak sent you.
[Update: and now, also, here.]
