Some clever guys (NowAndFutures.com) figured out how to reproduce the M3 statistics using public data sources. (Not a big surprise: it’s still going up.)
They also have what look to be good articles on CPI, commonly held false data, some forecasts, a good definition for bubble, plenty on real estate, a short note on the Amero (a common currency for Canada, the US, and Mexico), and even causes of death. They also have a couple of pages that aggregate charts and quotes from other sites that look to be quite handy.
On a personal note, I’m surprised that CPI doesn’t include taxes… it’s currently my largest expense.
They also have a very amusing off-topic flash bubblewrap and smack the penguin… as well asthe disclaimer, “Do your own research and make up your own mind, as usual. If you think we’re conspiracy nuts, that’s fine too.”

Oh damn, son. This is what I’m talkin’ about. As Paris would say, “That’s hot…”
One cool item that caught my eye:
“Note that other research shows the recession risk to be understated by 25-30% or more by the Fed study sourced above, which means a 50%+ recession chance within a year.”
