Over at my place: Will Ferrell endorses Eric Garcetti for Los Angeles mayor. Which is all well and good, but I'm not sure I can get behind him until I know what George Clooney thinks.
Perrspectives: Income inequality and the reverse Robin Hood recovery.
Alternate Brain: Teabaggers keeping it KKKlassy at FreedomWorks.
Rising Hegemon: Fiscal austerity and the right-wing plan for a Randian Starvetopia.
Fruits and Votes: Looking ahead to the Italian election on February 24-25.
