According to Joe

Joe Gedan

Senator Stevens' swan song

The Senate may soon show me the door

I may be in jail for 10 years or more

Will you still need me

Will you still feed me

When I'm 94

Daily headlines inspire the poet in Joe Gedan, a retired U.S. magistrate judge who lives in Honolulu. His observations on the news appear on Sundays and Fridays.
