Among the Twitter “friends” Flaherty was following yesterday were “BostonEscorts,” “BostonSexClub” and several flesh-peddlers looking for “single” and “cute” guys.

If you have not read it yet then I would read it only to let yourself get really angry and enraged: http://bit.ly/GX4h4. Marie Claire ran the following article, “The New Trophy Wives: Asian Women,” and I’m not introducing any new concepts or critiques that other people have not brought up.
