Hard to say who's worst this morning: The Globe for its continuing front page campaign on the evils of Craigslist or Craigslist's CEO for denying people advertise for sex on Craigslist:

The story placement kinda detracts from this well written how-they-did it story on how detectives decided Markoff was their man.

From Craigslist, where anything goes:

If you're a midget (or someone small in stature) and are looking to make some money....we are having a St Patrick's Party (great group of people) and would like to hire someone to pose as a leprechaun and serve drinks. You must be 21 + and have a great personality! Leprechaun costume a plus.You'll have a great time too! Compensation negotiable.
