From a comment by Zoroasteryid on Is Tanya to Blame for the Rubashkin Fiasco?

sometimes one gets the impression that the reason why certain people give so much tzedokoh is to cover up &/or excuse the method that they acquired their wealth. it is almost as if they feel so guilty knowing that they got rich illegally &/or immorally that they give it away lavishly to try to wash it away. or they genuinely feel that they are allowed to act illegally/immorally in order to great good. this, my friends, is called mitzvah haba’ah ba’aveirah, which is WORSE than just doing an aveyrah, because when you merely sin you know that you are doing something wrong. but when the sin is done through a mitzvah, you actually convince yourself that it is not a sin, so you are not even moved to do teshuvah - aderabo, he expects to be known as a tzadik & ba’al chesed. he has fooled himself. as the maharash said, “it is no trick to fool a fool.”

In honor of the forthcoming convention of Chabad-Lubavitch shluchim, we herewith offer 3 items related to Chabad which you may have missed:

1) The September edition of New Voices, which they title "The Lubavitch Issue." Our very own Anarchist Rabbi Captain Sholom Keller is featured on the cover with an extensive interview:

2) Tanya in the comix (in the pocket of a Rubashkin yet!), by the talented Eli Valley(http://www.evcomics.com/). See the bottom right frame:

3) A Rubashkin-related story you may not have heard of : A shliach arrested on alleged sex abuse charges with a 13 year old boy:

May Chabad continue with their glorious work until giluy Melech haMoshiach, AMEN!

PS: To the Rebbe-philic cows out there - this is about Chabad, NOT the Rebbe (this time), so do not delete. Unless you consider "Chabad" as synonymous with cyanide & exposure to it (spiritual) suicide…

Now if only he would cover this week's Shluchim convention in Crown Heights, when they block traffic on Eastern Parkway this Sunday to take their class photo…

Even after I repeatedly tell the same people I'm not interested, they come at you, like Jehovah Witnesses or Meshichists; they swarm you.

Breaking down the comments and exchanging chats with two of the editors who did not post comments, confirms, that all those with a college education were opposed to it appearing on 7fatcow and all those with just a high-school diploma, or, as with most of you, nothing at all, were all gung-ho about The Onion appearing on 7fatcow.

That's scientific.

Manhattan

A female panhandler socked a woman in the face in the East Village, cops said yesterday.

Sheri Unger, 24, asked the woman for spare change on Bond Street near Lafayette Street at around 5 p.m. Monday, sources said.

The woman ignored Unger, who grabbed her elbow, the sources said.

When the woman said, "Don't touch me," Unger allegedly punched her in the head and wrestled with her, causing the victim's pocketbook and cellphone to fall to the ground.

As a witness called police, Unger took the phone and tried to flee, but was soon arrested and charged with assault and robbery, said a spokeswoman for Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau.

Think hot financial advisors in stilettos versus hairy forest women from Oregon.

Think Angelina Jolie versus Sinead O'Connor.

Think Chabad versus Carlebach.

Think Sarah Versus Hillary.

The list goes on.

Well not exactly nazis, but she did support Pat Buchanan in the 2000 election.
