Publius has a good point here. I didn’t know the historical context of the term “Sister Souljah moment” until it came up during the primaries. Even after reading accounts of the episode where it was coined struck me as racist. I’ve had the same reaction to it now that it’s being used to flog the stupid Jesse Jackson non-story.

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.
