Down in a blaze of Khaki

Today the man who chased the giant lizards of the world is being memorialized up north in his zoo. Now is not the time for barbs (oops) or unprovoked attacks (oops again) but for solemn contemplation. The SMH has outdone itself by presumably dragging the work experience kid in to write the morning article about it and including this line:

"Boxer Kostya Tszyu said he was "big sad" and "there should be lots of tears", and Lisa Curry Kenny"

Kostya's interesting choice of adjectives aside, it's hard to see what Lisa Curry Kenny could add to the day unless she were delegated to bring the Uncle Tobys Muesli Bars.

Then again, Howards speechwriter must have been off work too. Howard opined that Irwin "had that quality of being genuine, of being authentic" he was also "direct, "genuine", "Australian", "love his country". We get it already John; the man was everything that we Shiraz sipping inner city Lefties should aspire to. I'm wearing Khaki underwear today. It's a start John. I hope you like them.
