AUSTRALIA A DEMOCRACY OF SORTS
Best-selling author Antony Loewenstein's fame seems to be fleeting; here's his introduction at the Global Voices internet censorship conference in Budapest:
After thanking his hosts for inviting him Loewenstein starts off:
Anyway, for his visit to the blogging conference Loewenstein eschews the sultry night-of-the-living-dead look in favour of the haven't-been-out-in-the-sun-for-weeks look so he fits in with the nerd-blogger crowd. His speech is the same old meaningless Loewenstein boo-hoo-hooing but he eventually gets to the point of his presentation when he plugs his forthcoming book about blogging, the cleverly titled The Blogging Revolution.

Antony is a fuckwit, of sorts.
Yes, Antony has always been an interesting person. I'm wondering how many people stayed awake during his talk. Perhaps they thought he was speaking in Hungarian.
