This is from NPR's Morning Edition today:

"In the continuing series on the lexicon of financial misfortune, Morning Edition introduces the term "zombie bank." A zombie bank keeps draining bailout capital from the government but doesn't respond with any meaningful lending that helps the economy recover. The prevalence of zombie banks made the long Japanese recession of the 1990s especially painful."

Full report can be heard here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=100762999
