Excerpt from Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary:

Love
n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.

Finding the wit of Bierce these days is a bit tough, as the cheap, dumb humorists increasingly drum out all the others, leaving you with nothing but Larry the Cable Guy's fart jokes and Will Ferrell yelling obnoxiously as he runs around in his underwear. More importantly, Bierce's cynical definitions made for humor purposes can often be much more accurate than the more mainstream responses, which would have the real meaning lost in the sugar-coating they would do for political purposes. What I wanted to do was to take Bierce's tart honesty from the small confines of his Devil's Dictionary to an entire Internet encyclopedia, but when I tried to dig ol' Ambrose up from the grave, I accidentally ended up with some guy from Milan with a bunch of hymns and a big, weird hat instead.

I suppose I'll have to fill in, and get some help from some other people who have a pulse, but this isn't a Wiki. I have no intention of having the Devil's Encyclopedia cataloguing "Star Trek" and "The Simpsons" or attempting to maintain newspaper objectivity. But encyclopedias take time, so in the meantime, I'll leave you with some suggested material:

• RepublicanJoke.Com -- There are plenty of pages for categories of jokes, but this has to be the only one I've seen dedicated to making jokes about the Republican Party, and often vicious ones at that. Led by Zoltar, Eater of Souls, RepublicanJoke.Com seems to mix originals with variants on classics, such as making jokes about Republicans changing light bulbs or fitting in refrigerators. It even has comics, and seems to have drawn the fire of Internet censorship company Blue Coat, so the edgy site of Republican jokes is responding in kind.
• tHE cHURCH oF sEX -- I'm not entirely sure why they have the capitalization like that, but this nutty church has a lot of things that might take me a while to understand. Is it real? Apparently this church is the real deal, but certainly not what I'm used to seeing in American religion. Give it a glance if you want to see some new ideas, and don't mind a lot of odd names like Pornholio, the name of the church's leader.
• Crazy Uncle George's A to Z of Hotties -- I don't think you'll find many people dumb enough to fall for the idea that the Bible Belt president of the United States is running a sexy celebrity pictures website, but Crazy Uncle George is trying just that. The site boasts over 150 galleries, non-nude but very risqué, and features a running commentary and blog by George W. Bush himself... supposedly. The site owner usually forgets to dumb down his or her speech to sound like Bush, but can be rather amusing when he or she does remember. Me, I just like the pictures, as they're top-notch, but the joking exchange between George and friend Thrillhouse of the Land of Thrillhouse is often good for a laugh as well.
