It’s interesting… the CNN.com article about the peace vigils last night gives pretty detailed numbers for the events at different places around the country but don’t give a total for the Freeper counter-protests that were supposed to take place at the same times and places as the peace vigils. Does that mean they didn’t have good turnout or that they weren’t as organized as MoveOn.org and the other groups that planned this event? It’s an odd omission, especially since they talked to the organizer for the D.C. counter-protest.

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.
