Interesting observation on the racial dynamic of the primary so far. I’ve noticed the disparity in reactions of Graham and Hagee vs. Wright (who hasn’t?), but I’m too cynical for it to surprise me anymore. The media is pretty much a reflection of the prejudices of society, along with this tendency to openly display ignorance proudly. We’re heading to another election where straight up lies about a candidate are his biggest liability going into the home stretch.

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.
