Slobby Satire

If you remember, during February, Wisconsin state senator Glen "slobby" Grothman had his 15 min. of fame on Ed Schultz calling the protesters in Madison, Wisconsin a "bunch of slobs".  Mr. Grothman is at it again.  Yesterday I read this rag which prompted the following response from me -- please forgive me -- I had just finished teaching unit on satire in which we read "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift.
