Another Religious Cult!
Word from: Mordy

Slate reported in Chatterbox:

"A new religious cult is growing, one that seeks purification through acts and statements of self-abasement. Its members are Jews who love Jew-bashers, and, like Jews for Jesus, it embraces contradiction. The group does not have a name, and thus far its members are united chiefly by their fealty to a single cult leader who commands their loyalty through steadfast support for Israel and the writing of big checks. I hereby dub this evolving cult Jews for Malek."

Ok, before I get jumped on for obsessing over Jews and cults (the Kabalah post, my Forward article on 50 Shekel and Jews for Jesus), the Malek in question is actually Fred Malek, managing partner of the Washington Baseball Club. Basically, Nixon asked him to do some anti-Semetic stuff, and he acquiested. What's odd is that the Republican Jewish Convention is defending him. Why do they care about Major League Baseball?
