Mar. 31, 2008: Don’t Blame Hillary And Me: We Just Need Our Sleep

March 31, 2008 by webmaster Leave a Comment

DON’T BLAME HILLARY AND ME: WE JUST NEED OUR SLEEP Okay everybody, give me a break. If I have done something wrong, it is not my fault. I’m not trying to make excuses for irritating the bejeezus out of you, but I just can help myself. If you must know, I am sleep-deprived. Me and Hillary. Sen. Hillary Clinton, whose presidential aspirations are sinking faster than a truck … [Read more...] about Mar. 31, 2008: Don’t Blame Hillary And Me: We Just Need Our Sleep

Mar. 24, 2008: The More Water We Have, The More Our Ungrateful Neighbors Want

March 24, 2008 by webmaster Leave a Comment

THE MORE WATER WE HAVE, THE MORE OUR UNGRATEFUL NEIGHBORS WANT No good deed goes unpunished. When Gov. Sonny Perdue convened a meeting at the state Capitol last November to pray for rain, a lot of snooty-noses scoffed. Not me. I told my friends they had better find their umbrellas because the governor had asked none other than Dr. Gil Watson, the World’s Greatest Preacher, to … [Read more...] about Mar. 24, 2008: The More Water We Have, The More Our Ungrateful Neighbors Want

Mar. 17, 2008: We All Lose When Politicians And Media Get Cozy

March 17, 2008 by webmaster Leave a Comment

WE ALL LOSE WHEN POLITICIANS AND MEDIA GET COZY Isn’t it strange that disgraced former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer got away with his trysts as long as he did? Spitzer, a mean-spirited bully, resigned following revelations he had been saying one thing and doing another. As New York’s attorney general, he stayed busy impugning the reputations of and ruining the careers of many … [Read more...] about Mar. 17, 2008: We All Lose When Politicians And Media Get Cozy

Mar. 10, 2008: Where Have All The Reliable Targets Gone?

March 10, 2008 by webmaster Leave a Comment

WHERE HAVE ALL THE RELIABLE TARGETS GONE? I am getting concerned. A lot of my most reliable targets have dried up and gone away. Kind of like the drought, except annexing Tennessee won’t help me any. Our Ambassador to Outer Space Cynthia McKinney has disappeared into the cesspool of the free world, Berkeley, Calif. I had high hopes that she might run for president on the … [Read more...] about Mar. 10, 2008: Where Have All The Reliable Targets Gone?

Mar. 3, 2008: Jekyll Redevelopment Should Be Of Interest To All Georgians

March 3, 2008 by webmaster Leave a Comment

JEKYLL REDEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE OF INTEREST TO ALL GEORGIANS Depending on who you talk to, Jekyll Island is about to be taken over by greedy real estate developers and turned into a fancy vacation resort with prices out of reach to ordinary Georgians, or it is a seedy, financially-strapped rundown shell of its former self. There is no question that Jekyll Island needs a … [Read more...] about Mar. 3, 2008: Jekyll Redevelopment Should Be Of Interest To All Georgians

Dicktations: Here’s What I’m Thinking

State Sen.Steve Gooch, R-Dahlonega, has announced he is running for lieutenant governor.  Gooch is the guy who said that approving permits to strip-mine the Okefenokee for titanium dioxide to manufacture, among other things, toothpaste whitener is not a legislative matter.  It is up to the bureaucrats to decide. This, despite overwhelming opposition from Georgians across the state.  File that away and remember it when it comes time to vote.  I know I will. … [Read More...] about A long memory

Reader Comments

Yarbrough received over 1,000 email responses last year – both positive and negative. Though most of the emails he receives support his viewpoints, one thing is for sure: Dick Yarbrough’s column speaks to people and they respond. Here is a sampling of email responses Yarbrough has received in the past:

  • Thanks for writing what we all are thinking.
  • I am annoyed by anybody who presumes to know what Georgians think.  And that, sir, includes you.
