Newsweek’s Daniel Gross explains the Consumer Price Index (here’s the official BLS site) in a very simple video. I could do without the goofy sound effects, but it’s a good, 2 minute explanation of how the government tracks inflation.
Per David Simon’s Berkeley talk, though, the video doesn’t go into why this matters. Perhaps they’ll cover that in the next installment of the Economics 101 series.

Don’t be alarmed. I can almost guarantee that no muppets were harmed in the making of her decolletage.
December 4th, 2003 at 3:33 pm
almost is not good enough, DMR.
Oooh, do you think she made like the German cannibal guy and lured one of the muppets over for dinner before she skinned him?
December 4th, 2003 at 3:36 pm
German cannibal? They were evil enough before they started eating people. Do you know whether he was violently racist about which people he would eat?
December 4th, 2003 at 3:39 pm
the cannibalism deserves its own thread

Maybe it was not a Muppet, maybe it was Red from Fraggle Rock???
December 4th, 2003 at 3:44 pm
Nnnnnooooooooo. Not Red! oh crap. now that you mention it, I am almost convinced you’re right.
December 4th, 2003 at 3:45 pm
Red was pretty cool, but I rather liked that hippie-ish one whose name evades me right now.. But yeah, definately a Fraggle Rock character
December 4th, 2003 at 7:16 pm
Oh, Fraggles are Muppets with more dirt and worse publicity. You do know that Yoda is the Dalai Lama, right?
December 5th, 2003 at 9:24 am
