The New Devil's Dictionary

The original was written during the civil war by a journalist.

The New Devil's Dictionary one has definitions pertaining to our century.

Some of my favorites....

America: Noun. Former republic, reported founded 1776, but which foundered soon thereafter. An exemplary idea, a belief better realized in the abstract than actuality.

Christianity: Noun. 2,000 year-old religion originally based on gentle non-violence. Now a worldwide cult transformed by conquest, persecution, money-making, & cronyism.

Democratic Party: Archaic English. Defunct Influence group. Now less powerful than PETA but featuring neutared males and spayed females nonetheless. (*OUCH but I gotta say that made me laugh!)

I noticed the one definition they didn't have was the Republican Party. So here's my go at a definition.

Republican Party: Archaic English. Defunct influence group. Originally started with a platform of anti-slavery but by the 21st century had been hijacked by neo-faschists, corporate slaveowners (see Cheap Labor Conservative), and religious cultists.
