A Pair of Beautiful Sentences
Peter T. Daniels:

What a stunner!
[nq:1]When are the corrupt cop unions going to apologize to the Atlantic Monthly author who exposed minor looting by 9/11 workers, for claiming that no one could possibly ever have done such a thing, so he was lying to defame their oh-so-sacred honor?[/nq]
How gorgeous!

Don't mention it! Another example of your froth:
[nq:1]There are so many Aeolian-Skinners ... taking into account the acoustics, I love St. Paul's Chapel on the Columbia campus ... time I heard Missa Solemnis was there, and it quite overpowered the orchestra (and basically has only a continuo function).[/nq]
