Split this Bill!
President Obama now says he wants each part of his $447 billion jobs bill to be voted on separately in Congress... that should give local cities and unions the 17 more years they'll need to get "shovel ready."

Sarandon Hypocrisy
Just as Susan Sarandon joined the anti-corporate protesters in Lower Manhattan, a huge billboard of her endorsing a Japanese clothing chain that uses sweat shop Chinese labor has gone up in Midtown. Perhaps Sarandon was protesting the fact that there just aren't enough jobs for eight-year-old Chinese kids.
