I'm certain someone's already mentioned this, but one minor response to EBear's latest fatuous post:

Jonathan Swift once made a remarkable "modest proposal" which recommended that the Irish eat their own children (or sell the tastier ones as food). As a result, the phrase has been forevermore associated with high satire and indeed any proposal labeled as such is generally understood to be one that is intentionally abhorrent and/or outrageous. (And, oh the irony, to reference a political tract that satirized anti-Irish racism.)

If only we would let her TEACH US.
