I generally view him as a good political figure, but Ed Rendell needs to rethink this. Abstinence only education is bad education policy and it’s bad science. Abstinence is part of every comprehensive sex ed class as it is anyway.

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.
