Inflation Measurement Insanity:

If you follow the news about the CPI and think talk of "core inflation" (i.e. ex food and energy) is missing the point, then you'll love the Economist story that The Big Picture takes apart with vigor.

Won't spoil the fun, but there's something even worse than the "core inflation" statistic you're familiar with.
