Because one of our readers, Eric Marcus Neshanian, Esq. — foe of Farrah Khan and intrepid disrupter of business as usual — has been unable to resist posting off-topic comments expressing Armenian grievances on other serious posts, we have created this post for him to talk about whatever he wants that doesn’t violate site standards. (Some mild mangling of Yiddish terms, justified by Eric as a response to Israeli support for Turkish denial of the Armenian Genocide, will be tolerated, because that really was wrong.)
Many, perhaps most, of his previous comments will be transported here. Here is a map of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the disputed territory they each claim from the Wikimedia site, used in an article today by Newsweek. Nagorno-Karabakh has a different name in Armenian, but I don’t recall what it is and I hope that Eric will fill us in on it. As you can see, the borders are a mess (thanks to the colonial Soviet regime’s mangling the border lines as badly as Great Britain once did in the Middle East.)

Here are some of Eric’s previous comments on topics of his choosing, along with my occasional replies:
Somewhere Orly Taitz is scratching her head wondering how she missed out on this mishegas [over Farrah Khan, Mike Carroll, and the Dan Chmielewski payment.] That is some good feather ruffling bubby. Way to scramble up the kugel.
[Greg] Two out of three Yiddish words used correctly is not bad these days! (No one scrambles kugel.)
I didn’t write this for your enjoyment, but I did realize that you’d enjoy it. I’ll bet I know what publication is likely to pick it up.
They do, if Kugel is slang for one’s mind or brain as in your kugel is soft. Which it is, in some circles.
Kugel has several meanings beyond noodle pudding, bubby! Carry on!
There is no indication on Google or Wikipedia that what you’re saying is true, although it is apparently used as slang among the older generation of South African Jews for what we in this country would once have called a “Jewish American Princess.”
Eric, what you’re doing is called “hijacking a post,” and I’m done with it. I’ll create a new post for you [n.b., this one!] to put all of your Armenian patriotic commentary on Turkey, Azerbaijan, etc, and you can post it there, along with your mangling of Yiddish and other grievances. This is an alternative to simply banning you rather than putting you into moderation (as I’ve done), out of deference to your having a cogent perspective to offer but just seem unwilling to refrain from hijacking other posts. But I’m going to start deleting everything you have to say that detracts from the topic at hand. If I’m in a good mood I’ll move it to that [this!] post.
Melahat is a Turkish name. Just saying. Speaking about thick plots.
You mean the ‘news’ outfit Voice of OC that has Wylie Aitken (ADL acolyte = Genocide denier sympathizer) as the Chairman of its Board and is touting his daughter’s run for Santa Ana mayor. There is an Armenian-American population in Santa Ana wait until they get wind they Wylie and Darren took awards from ADL an organization steeped in lobbying against formal US recognition of Armenian Genocide on behalf of Israel and Turkey. The DNC wouldn’t appoint a supporter of an organization that lobbied for Holocaust denial to chair it’s senate federal judge appointment committee so why is Wylie who is in bed with Genocide deniers be so qualified for the position.
Turks infiltrating US opportunity zones. Me wonders: is that is afoot in the OC.
But, farrahkhan is speaking at builders convention later this month.
Vern,
Is a Muslim Mayor telling American citizens to emulate the Democracy and honor the inclusivity of a 99% muslim country that is wholly undemocratic, not free and absolutely corrupt an Armenian grievance or an American issue?
Do I get it?
Farrahkhan confirms Shirvine is not inclusive as her propaganda campaign purports it to be and conflates political speech aimed at Vice Mayor Kim as blatant displays of mysogynistic racism.
We are not Irvine and We are not in this together. Another episode of the political sham game, ‘play the victim game’ and ‘we are all in this together”. In other news, Genocide deniers want you to know the Orthodoxy is with them and the rule regarding politicians and hats should also apply to photo ops with mascots.

Bushala is an Assyrian soup. I like soup. What a little name dropper you are Vern. gossiping like a little girl about your blog.
My two connections to Troy high school.
Played a football game against them as a freshman in high school and went to law school next door.
I bet you I can throw a football farther than Bushala and hit my mark.
What a little girl you are. I bet you can’t.
Aww, the name dropper speaketh.
Queue “Anything You Can Do”
Cue, Ethel.
Sorry ol’ buddy. Cue Betty Hutton.
Neshanian thinks my casually mentioning Bushala is “name-dropping.” I guess that means in his circle Tony is some kind of celebrity. That’s interesting. To you and me and Greg, he’s just a guy we know.
Vice Mayor Tammy Kim wants you to rest assured She’s an Amurrican! And she can associate with whomever she likes.

Fresh off her rant about mysogynistic racism directed at Irvine City Council members, Farrakhan doubles down with religion card.

If white Christian judges are not fit for the bench, then what of Haredi Jewish judges? Note: American Jewish Committee lobbied for Halprin claiming judge was anti-Semitic.
“Judge Mays said in her recommendation that at the time of Mr. Halprin’s trial, Mr. Cunningham had ‘possessed an actual bias against Halprin, because of Halprin’s religious faith.’”
…
“Mr. Cunningham drew fierce scrutiny in 2018 when he told The Dallas Morning News in an interview that he had set up a living trust for his children with a clause that would reward them if they married a white person.
‘I strongly support traditional family values,’ Mr. Cunningham told the newspaper in 2018. ‘If you marry a person of the opposite sex that’s Caucasian, that’s Christian, they will get a distribution.’”

Vern, then why mention him? I pay rent to Olenicoff. Yada yada!
Much bigger fish in the Assyrian sea then Bushala.
What do you think came first ash-resht-e or bushala?

Mouth fills w/taste of copper.
Chinese paper. Foreign money. Old posters.
Gyro on a string, a table.
A coin spins. The faces.
There is an audience to our drama.
Magic shade mask.
Like the hero of a dream, he works for us,
in our behalf.
How close is this to a final cut?
I fall. Sweet blackness.
Strange world that waits & watches.
Ancient dread of non-existence.
If it’s no problem, why mention it.
Everything spoken means that,
it’s opposite, & everything else.
I’m alive. I’m dying.
– Morrison, Jim
Hey, Vern and his blog buddies know some guy named Bushala.
Queue “So What”
Last call! This post closes in 25 minutes! Get in your final links and poetry and shade and grievances while you can!
CUE, Miles.
I’m still hoping for a comment explaining: queue these songs where? And if they’re appropriate, why not cue them now, where they fit, rather than queueing them to be heard at some later time?
I’m also waiting for an explanation of whether the while ball in pool should actually be called the “queue” ball.
I think Vern gets the difference between cue and queue.
I think you don’t.
I gave you too much credit.
AND……….
