Economics 101: Consumer Price Index - Newsweek
sujal 11/24/2008

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.

Glenn Greenwald - Salon: Your Harry Reid-led Senate in action
sujal 01/23/2008

Harry Reid is a disaster as Majority Leader. The attitude he’s taking here, especially considering the “silent filibusters” he’s allowed Republicans to get away with during 2007, is shameful.

Bill Kristol doesn’t deserve to be listened to anymore. How completely disingenuous can he be and still live with himself?

Dennis Hastert is a Dishonest Man?
sujal 10/18/2006

But we won’t ever know because the media won’t tell us. Seriously, he is a sketchy, sketchy guy. I don’t understand how he’s still Speaker.
