This rant is from the multiple political ideologies that live inside my head. They need a place to come out and play. (In a politically offensive way) Entry into this space is not advised!

This should give you a giggle. A economy parody of the song "Cherish", it's called "Bearish".
Traders Narrative has a nice graph (1957 to present) of long term fed funds rates.
Totally oblivious to the Fed's magic helicopter, Initial Jobless Claims are at Highest Levels Since Katrina, Bespoke has the graph. (2003 to present)
For those who want to keep up with the latest economic data, here are three really nice links for the latest data releases: Yahoo, Marketwatch, Barron's.
Another interesting graph is the Baltic Exchange Dry Index. "The Baltic Dry Index is an index covering dry bulk shipping rates and managed by the Baltic Exchange in London." (Wikipedia) Looks like things are slowing down. Why the Baltic Dry Index matters
For those interested in the price of gold and silver, Kitco has two very nice pages that follow the price around the globe. I use a local mom & pop store to make my purchases, but kitco seems to have a good reputation.
For those wondering how the current round of banking problems will go down, Beat the Press talks about the US Savings and Loan crisis of the 1980s.
While Jim Jubak wonders if the USA is repeating Japans mistakes of the in the early 1990s.
The Big Picture notices the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics problem with statistics.
Then there is the disturbing trend of central banks trying to hide failed banks. Although the current fuss is about the Bank of England. Hasn't the Fed been doing this since last December, with its anonymous Term Auction Facility? (wikipedia link)
The Ron Paul War Room talks about bank solvency. Very wordy but worth reading.
You also might want to take a look at this tread from tickerforum.org. As the try to figure out what the reserve numbers really mean.
For those not already aware, STONELEIGH and ILARGI have opened up shop at The Automatic Earth. Quoting lyrics from a Paul Simon tune "The Boy In the Bubble".
