Don Young, Man with the Steel Trap Mind

Brian Zick

Alaska Republican Don Young takes advantage of the opportunity to reinforce his well-deserved reputation. From CONGRESSMAN YOUNG’S REMARKS ON THE WAR IN IRAQ, February 15, 2007: Beginning in 1916-1917, in World War I (which my father fought in and where five of my cousins were killed and where fortunately or unfortunately I did not serve, but I know many of my colleagues did)… Which would mean that his many colleagues are somewhere around 110 years old (fortunately or unfortunately).

The text is from the poem “QUADRENNIAL” by Golden, reprinted with permission. It was first published in the Poetry Project. Inside front cover photo by Golden.
