“Immiseration”, a word even Buckley or Safire would have hesitated to use, lol.

Re your tagline...Do you think Mr. Twain might have read TS Eliot’s poem about Macavity?

You’re right — Buckley and Safire were more into Shakespeare-era words. “Immiseraation” comes along a good 300 years after Shakespeare.
