Trump and the Manning Brothers with The Launch of The NEW Golden Double Stuf Oreo Cookie, Mr. Trump and Darrell Hammond Go for DSRL Gold
The recent launch of new Golden Double Stuf Oreo cookies caught the attention of Mr. Trump. Always looking for his next big golden opportunity, Mr. Trump recently announced his intention to purchase the hottest league in town – the Oreo Double Stuf Racing League (DSRL). Long-time DSRL members Peyton and Eli Manning fired back, telling him the League can’t be bought. So in the spirit of Oreo lick racing, Mr. Trump challenges the quarterback brothers to a lick-off for control of the League.

In a new TV ad, Mr. Trump reveals his twisting, licking and dunking partner: actor and comedian, Darrell Hammond.

Will “The Donalds” “trump” the Mannings as they try to keep the DSRL open to all Oreo fans?

Rabbi Irwin Kula "Inglourious Basterds"
Irwin Kula, an eighth generation rabbi, says that the movie is either “kosher porn” or a potential first stage in healing from the burden of the trauma of remembering the Holocaust. “It is time,” he says, “for us to remember the trauma in order to forget, or it will distort the future of the Jewish people.” (A complete piece on this is available at his site on The Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rabbi-irwin-kula/bill-hillary_b_257987.html) Kula was listed 3 years in a row in Newsweek as one of the top ten “most influential rabbis in America.” Author of the award-winning book, Yearnings: Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life, he is a recipient of the 2008 Walter Cronkite Faith and Freedom Award, and was a regular on the Today Show, and a repeat guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Below are some thoughts from his piece on the Huffington Post: --The movie is a fantasy. When fantasy works, it gets us in touch with those feelings we didn’t know we had. One can’t let go until one owns the full range of anger, vengeance and hate one feels. The fact that so many experience the desire for revenge with so much gusto indicates there is a lot of rage underneath the surface. --Once we recognize the primal feelings of rage and desire for vengeance, we can look at them and realize an important truth—nothing, no museum, memorial, prayer or theology will ever make things 100% right. Working through the rage allows it not to control you. --The movie has the potential of looking at issues seriously. It is not just “kosher porn.” It can help us to heal.
