Does anyone have a really good article on the history of the subprime mortgage crisis?

[Elspeth]

I would like to get a really comprehensive idea of what is going on and I have some time to read today.

Thanks.

Probably not what you are looking for. It's sort of a sub-prime slideshow for Dummies, using stick figures. It's amusing and informative though for people who really don't have a clue.

At last, a simple, understandable explanation of the sub-prime meltdown. These guys deserve a Nobel.
