Not to mention a real, live, bona fide use of the word dis-Establishmentarianism(1) in the wild. Golden.
(1) Historical perspective: If you happened to be a theater major, hung out with such, or even did sound and lights for some rinky-dink drama club in the 90s like me, you heard this word ad nauseam spoken by people who had no earthly clue what it meant.
