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.

where can i get one of those “vote for kerry is a vote for osama” bumper stickers?

Perhaps you should try calling Paris Hilton and she can tell you where to get one of those bumper stickers. She seems to be a Jill of all trades. Plus you seem to have found you intellectual equal!

Well, a personal attack against someone that you know absolutely nothing about . . . You must be a liberal.
Actually, I am a college professor and I intend to include one of those bumper stickers, among several others, in a lecture scheduled this fall. Of course, you apparently have no need for explanations before drawing your conclusions.

the amusing part of this entire exchange is that the your entire response, older/wiser is to say “you must be a liberal.” wow… you told her.
if you were reasonably bright, as one would hope a professor was, you’d see the search box to your left. Or you may have heard of a powerful new piece of technology called a search engine. (google, for example). Either way, leaving a comment in a story about Paris Hilton seems neither bright nor remotely likely to find you what you’re looking for.
And, since you can’t obviously take a joke, you must be a, uh, liberal? no, conservative? no wait, what’s the bad flavor of the month these days?
I’ll just ignore your politics and call you naive in the ways of the Internet. Stop wasting everyone’s time and go search for what you want on google or using the search box at left.

You’re correct I am not experienced with chat rooms such as this because my time is filled with other endeavors, like career, family, education, etc.. Please return to your significant and intellectually stimulating conversation regarding Ms. Hilton. I certainly did not intend to waste the time of those engaged in such important pursuits.
