While probably true, what I meant was gummint bureaucrats.

Freudian slip?

To do the allusion right, I probably should use Twain's original
spelling--govment. But who reads Twain these days anyway.

I do. He's currently my favorite author. Amazing writer, Clemens.

I've always
thought that with his ear for dialect he should have spelled it "gummint."

I seem to recall that he did in one of his novels. Can't recall which,
however.
