Any bond fund recommendations?

Schwab's "Find Bonds & Fixed Income" option under the Trade tab is super easy. Ameritrade's Bond Wizard is also easy to use.

All of my significant funds are in Vanguard.  They never make anything quite as simple as TDA, but the search function seems adequate.  When I get a minute I'll attempt to copy a listing onto this thread so I can ask a few questions.  I definitely see what you guys are saying about corporate not being worth the bother right now, but just for practice I may still buy one that expires in a few years so I can observe the mechanics and track it.  I'm not planning to be a bond trader, but things change and I desire an understanding to exit if that just makes sense some year.  I'll likely just stick to what I understand for trading.  Equities work more than fine for that "bucket".  Callable bonds sound like what I want.
