It's so anoying when that happens, trust me, it happens to me a lot! I only went out to buy groceries & came back with a laptop, printer/scanner/photocopier thingy after being bamboozled by science & sales
Ideological Readers? Apart from being in the main Eustonites, the Ideology of my readers defies simple categorisation. I don't think there's anything on General Theory that would give anyone the vapours.
Yes, I'm a NeoCon and a RWDB. But I have a lot more in common with, say, Hak Mao or Norm Geras than I do with many on the Right. They in turn have more in common with such enfants terrible as Mark Steyn and Tim Blair, compared to Michael Moore or the Unspeakable George Galloway. Or even Red Ken Livingstone.
Seriously, all polit bloggers should include on their blog rolls sane, honest people who they disagree with, even on fundamentals. One's own political beliefs should always be subject to periodic testing.
It's no secret that personal experience has caused me to be a bit more left than I used to be. But that also means I have more right to criticise the hypocrisy, the backbiting, factionalism and narcissism, and even objective pro-fascism I see on parts of the left.
I agree though with many on the Ultra Left that the Euston Manifesto is a NeoCon document. They seem to think that's a bad thing of course.
Yes it has some things in which I disagree with. The point is, I can live with them, and who knows, they may even be more correct than my own ideas.
Actually, I am a Rocket Scientist.
Also hormonally odd (my blood has 46xy chromosomes anyway) and for most of my life, I looked male, and lived as one, trying to be the best Man a Gal could be. Anyway, in May 2005 that started changing naturally for reasons still unclear, and I'm now Zoe, not Alan : happier and more relaxed not to have to pretend any more.
UPDATE - reason now identified as the 3BHSD form of CAH.
This blog, written by a rocket scientist, is a fascinating collection of information, both personal and scientific, regarding intersex, transsexualism and related psychosocial and psychosexual issues. ... It is erudite and heartfelt. Just read the posts about the passport issue. You won't know whether to laugh, weep or crawl into a ball and rock gently in a corner - an amazing person. - David --- The reason I so appreciate bright, perceptive people - as opposed to ideologues whose intelligence does little to illuminate - is that they manage to both instruct and learn with a certain grace. Among such rarities in the transblogosphere is Zoe, whose direct speech and clear humanity always make her worth reading, even if one doesn’t always agree with her every conclusion. - Val --- The following is a request for permission to archive your A.E.Brain blog site which we have wanted to do for several years... The Library has traditionally collected items in print, but it is also committed to preserving electronic publications of lasting cultural value.... Since (1996) we have been identifying online publications and archiving those that we consider have national significance.... We would like to include A.E.Brain blog site in the PANDORA Archive... -Australian National Library

Some of your more ideological readers will get a shock if they head over to the General Theory...
When do we get to see Tintin from Hillsboro?
(Not Suitable for Work, or in fact civilised company. Funny, tho.)
Don't worry idelogical readers -- I only bite when poked with a big stick.
Mr David J is wrong about Tintin tho'. Tintin is from Middlesborough.

NSFW!!
