if you ever think ur doing a bad job just know it cant be worse than the historians that read “I tore open your letter and licked the envelope's seal for any lingering trace of you” “my darling, so near I seem to you, that I disdain this pen, and wait for a warmer language.” “I hope for you so much, and feel so eager for you, feel that I cannot wait, feel that now I must have you—” “To own a Susan of my own Is of itself a Bliss -Whatever Realm I forfeit, Lord, Continue me in this!” “I need her - I must have her, Oh give her to me” “Now, farewell, Susie... I add a kiss, shyly, lest there is somebody there! Don't let them see, will you Susie?” “Show me Eternity, and I will show you Memory -Both in one package lain And lifted back again -Be Sue - while I am Emily - Be next - what you have ever been -Infinity.”, and thought emily dickinson’s relationship with sue was that of two very close friends— sisterly like.

For those that aren't in Australia right now, we have the funniest scandal going on.

Firstly let us introduce you to the eye of the storm: Sam Kerr. Sam is a women's soccer player who has in the last year become one of the most famous and beloved athletes in Australia. Captain of the women's national team, Sam became something of a cult figure after the last Women's Soccer World Cup became a complete unpredicted sensation in Australia, with the whole country getting behind the team.

Sam, up until now, has had probably one of the most squeaky clean images in sport. Generally in Australia it is not uncommon for our sports stars to be caught up in scandals involving drugs:

violence:

drinking their own urine:

or if you're cricket legend Shane Warne, probably all three at once.

Contrasting all this, Sam's image as the squeaky clean saviour for sport made it all the more shocking this last week, when it was announced that Kerr was to face trial after having been charged by the UK police of a "racially aggravated offence" involving a taxi driver.

This was shocking news. Nobody knew what to make of it. Sam was a model for young girls everywhere and a national treasure. "This is why we can't have nice things" screamed the nation. It seemed like all hope was lost.

That is, until, yesterday, when the UK police finally revealed the full details of the case, in which Sam Kerr, sporting legend, was arrested for vomiting in a cab, and then telling an intervening police officer that he was a “stupid white bastard”.

Now we probably don't need to point out that in Australia, vomiting in a taxi and then calling a cop a bastard is about as close to a national culture as we have.

You could not have come up with a better headline to make someone a national hero.

Needless to say, Sam in now being hailed down under as the greatest legend that ever lived, and a petition has already been started to have her picture added to the $5 note.

The tide has swung so far that not one, but TWO, state Premiers have spoken out in support of Kerr, and the Prime Minister has even gone on the record describing her as "a delight".

And so ends the racial abuse saga of our greatest sports hero of all time, and the very first reverse milkshake duck to ever exist.
