  4. Such a shock to lose Joe Neal — I didn’t always agree with him, but he was a fine man and one of the very best, most dedicated House members.

    I just listened to him talking about new appointments on NPR at noon. Talk about Newspeak! I’m just afraid that he’s actually confusing some people. If he is, this country is dead.
