Your use of the past particple "sewn" rather than the simple past/perfect is driving me nuts! Please fix it!

I feel compelled to add that the story of the three year old girl is incomprehensibly horrible and my sympathies go out to her family.

It should be noted that Mike-"I support gay rights"-Bloomberg appealed Ling-Cohan's decision, thus making gay marriage still not legalized.

Gothamist, please tell me that your literary selection entitled “Meat Me in Manhattan: A Carnivore's Guide to New York” is not yet another thinly-veiled wisecrack with regard to the "R" train flasher story.
