The Devil's Dictionary needs updating.

Apropos some comments I made on the Pure Poison blog today, I propose an update for Bierce's seminal work:

DEMAGOGUE, n. – 1. someone in possession of a voice, a soapbox, and an unwillingness to be parted from either.
2. a dog employed by wolves to persuade sheep.

Not only is that well crafted, it is a remarkable simulation of Bierce's voice. Kudos.
