This is a big complaint of “grammar police” on social media. I was deputized, so this type of lazy posting jacks my jaws.
Apparently, blah is a filler or placeholder while the editor researched what Hannukah was all about. But, something sparkly, or maybe a squirrel caught his eye and threw him off track. He hit ENTER and this happened.

For 25 years now, when I write and need to look up a date or fact or mark where I left off, my place holder is some variation of xx or more xxxxx. That way even running simple spell check finds any leftovers I missed. Which is good because a xxx remnant would not be great. Using a word that is rude but spell check will not single it out is bad journalistic practice prone to embarrassing errors such as is displayed here.
