Zell Miller

Jul. 20, 2009: Zell Miller Is A Hard Dog To Keep Under The Porch

July 20, 2009 by webmaster Leave a Comment

ZELL MILLER IS A HARD DOG TO KEEP UNDER THE PORCH This is my first column since my rotator cuff surgery and it hasn’t been easy getting the words to come out the way I intended them to. My left hand is slower than a Georgia Income Tax return and my right hand is totally unsympathetic and flies across the keyboard like a bunny rabbit. What results are some newly-minted words … [Read more...] about Jul. 20, 2009: Zell Miller Is A Hard Dog To Keep Under The Porch

Apr. 20, 2009: I Wish Zell Miller Would Come Back And Straighten Things Out

April 20, 2009 by webmaster Leave a Comment

I WISH ZELL MILLER WOULD COME BACK AND STRAIGHTEN THINGS OUT I miss the heck out of Zell Miller. I wish he would come back and straighten out the mess under the Gold Dome. And he could, too. His detractors — mostly liberal weenies, these days — go apoplectic at the mention of his name. (That isn’t particularly noteworthy; liberal weenies go apoplectic at the mention of my … [Read more...] about Apr. 20, 2009: I Wish Zell Miller Would Come Back And Straighten Things Out

Jul. 2, 2007: Run Zell, Run. Your Nation Needs You

June 2, 2007 by webmaster Leave a Comment

RUN ZELL, RUN. YOUR NATION NEEDS YOU I wish to say a word about the current crop of people running for president of the United States. The word is “ugh!” There’s not a pony in the pile. Maybe it doesn’t matter who is president. After all, we have survived one of the most inarticulate presidents in our history, who in turn had replaced one of the most libidinous. Even Jimmy … [Read more...] about Jul. 2, 2007: Run Zell, Run. Your Nation Needs You

August 3, 2000: Only Four Things We Can Count On

August 3, 2000 by webmaster Leave a Comment

There are only four things in this world we can count on with absolute certainty: Death. Taxes. Roy Barnes making astute political moves. Republicans clueless on how to respond. The appointment of Zell Miller to succeed the late Paul Coverdell as senator provides an interesting commentary on the current state of the two political parties.  Many have said, including some in … [Read more...] about August 3, 2000: Only Four Things We Can Count On

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.
