I started to put this in Humor, but thinking about it, it's not all that funny. Politics and Religion didn't look like they'd work, either. If someone feels that it needs to be moved, feel free.

I think you found the right place, Filthy.

This one really gets me:
quote:
HONESTY, n. Lies told in simple declarative sentences: "Freedom is on the march."

Ah, honesty. Such a lonely word. Wait, maybe they mean that freedom is marching out. Hmmm.

Millions long for immortality who don't know what to do on a rainy afternoon.

I would say a Republican dictionary belongs under politics... but that's just me.

My favorite is:

quote:
BI-PARTISANSHIP, n. When conservative Republicans work together with moderate Republicans to pass legislation Democrats hate.


That one got quite a laugh out of me.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.
- Isaac Asimov

This is my favorite:
"FAITH, n. The stubborn belief that God approves of Republican moral values despite the preponderance of textual evidence to the contrary."
