The Fed cut the federal funds rate by half a percentage point today, which we're told is supposed to encourage lending. Blown Mortgage described the market's reaction as "meh," though it looks more like "Whee! Splat."

Quick, to the dollar store -- and if you get a good rate on a dollar, please let us know immediately.
