I mean, seriously, how hard is it to shut up and govern?!?! Is there anything more useless than Congress? (Come on, Tamar, say France, you know you want to!)

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.

It looks like Senator Spector reads the Jishman Chronicles at http://www.fatmixx.com … It looks like he agrees with Jishman, they have better things to be focusing on…
This is taken from a Yahoo news report:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Arlen Specter backed off a threat to have a Senate subcommittee investigate whether the NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles violated antitrust laws in their handling of Terrell Owens.
Specter, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Tuesday that he talked to lawyers in the Department of Justice about the issue.
“I think it’s more a matter for them than us because we’ve got … a lot of matters which take precedence over this for our own time,” said Specter, R-Pa.
Specter did not say Tuesday whether the Justice Department indicated it will look into the matter.
And they say one person can’t influence the Senate…. Way to go Jishman!!!
