Where Armenians Clash With Ignorant Azerbaijanis By Night*
Or: The Sluice**, The Jews, The "Juice" & A Daughter, Fast & Loose
Or: Sour Concord Grapes
Or: The Two-Timing Of Johnny Turk
The cognoscenti of things Cardassian know from documents pilfered from the secret Air Force facility, Area 54 (aka Studio 51), located in the bowels of New York City, that the Star Trek saga of the "race" referenced above is - Wullah Bullah, Upon my beard - based loosely on the abduction of humans from the area now known as the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave*. After serving their captors for a millennium or so, some of the real-life "Cardassians" were given a planet to call their own and others were repatriated to Earth after some genetic engineering which, to this day, gives many of their descendants an edge over the rest of humanity.
To cite only a happy few: The world-famous Mall of America, located a very few miles from my modest domicile, is owned by the Ghermezian brothers. "Extraterrestrial powers" seems as good as any other explanation for the acquittal of Dr. John Najarian "on all 15 counts of fraud, embezzlement, tax evasion and obstruction of justice related to the University of Minnesota ALG program." Even more incredible was another jury's verdict in the case of O.J. Simpson, whose defense was greatly aided by Robert Kardashian.
I have nothing but nice things to say about Mark Krikorian, the executive director for the Center for Immigration Studies and a NRO contributor, and given that gentlemen don't publish others' email, I shouldn't comment on whether or not he shares a birthday with me (my memory is a sieve and I've lost all of any correspondence), or whether he opined that the renaming of Concord Street in St. Paul, Minnesota (upon which I still travel on my commute) as Caesar Chavez Street was not an isolated phenomenon or whether he quoted Chris Rock after I carped about my eldest, strangest (takes after her Old Man) and "estrangest" scion: "Keep your daughter off the pole."
Another NRO contributor and erstwhile NER writer, who may or may not have quoted the same advice, gave something of a back-handed compliment to those descended in part from those "lucky", plucky Cardassians:

"Disgraceful, disrespectful, derogatory mass stereotyping corner. A staple of news items for Iraq in the years between the two Gulf Wars was the two-hanky report about how the poor little children of that nation were being denied food and medicine by the cruel, cynical Yanks and their stoolpigeons at the U.N. In fact, the U.N. was running a $70 billion operation to send humanitarian supplies to Baghdad under the so-called "Oil-for-Food" program. Problem was, the program leaked like a sieve, most of the funds sluicing [**] through to the private bank accounts of Saddam and his family, and U.N. officials like Undersecretray Benon Sevan, a Cypriot of Armenian origins.
Now, if I remember my Lawrence Durrell correctly: "It takes two Turks to cheat a Greek; it takes two Greeks to cheat an Arab; it takes two Arabs to cheat a Jew; it takes two Jews to cheat an Armenian." Perhaps the next time the U.N. has an Oil-for-Food program, they should put Turks in charge."

Disclosure: Dr. Najarian didn't think much of me either.
