August 1, 2016: Putin Swears It Wasn’t His Special Hand-Picked Covert Operatives That Hacked DNC

August 8, 2016 by webmaster Leave a Comment

Ring! Ring! Ring! “Hello, Vladimir Putin speaking. How may I help you?” “Vladimir, this is Barack Obama.” “Barry! How the heck are you? I haven’t heard from you in ages. How’s the golf game? Still shanking those sand wedges?” “My golf game is just fine, thank you, but that is not the reason I called. And by the way, I have asked you not to refer to me as ‘Barry.’ I will … [Read more...] about August 1, 2016: Putin Swears It Wasn’t His Special Hand-Picked Covert Operatives That Hacked DNC

July 25, 2016: What Good is a Bucket List Without the Gaithers On It?

August 4, 2016 by webmaster Leave a Comment

I don’t have a bucket list but if I did I would be hard-pressed to find room to add anything else. There is not much I have wanted to do that I haven’t done from shooting the breeze with the president in the Oval Office to seeing the sun rise in the Scottish Highlands to being embedded with the brave men and women of Georgia’s 48th Brigade Combat Team in Iraq. But until I am … [Read more...] about July 25, 2016: What Good is a Bucket List Without the Gaithers On It?

July 11, 2016: Dallas Tragedy Shows it is Time to Lower the Rhetoric and Start the Healing

July 25, 2016 by webmaster Leave a Comment

Have we gone totally, completely insane?  It is not bad enough that the specter of Islamic terrorism hangs over us like a toxic cloud, now we have a sniper in Dallas killing five police officers and wounded seven others because, according to Dallas police chief David Brown, he reportedly wanted to kill white people in retaliation for the death of two black people in Minnesota … [Read more...] about July 11, 2016: Dallas Tragedy Shows it is Time to Lower the Rhetoric and Start the Healing

July 4, 2016: Add State Parks and Historic Sites to Georgia’s Brag Book

July 17, 2016 by webmaster Leave a Comment

I am late getting to this subject with summer whizzing along but not so much so that we can’t still squeeze it in the State of Georgia’s brag book, along with Vidalia onions, St. Simons sunsets, rainbow trout and Ray Charles Robinson.  I am talking about our state parks. This year marks Georgia State Parks and Historic Site’s 85th anniversary.  It all started back in 1931 with … [Read more...] about July 4, 2016: Add State Parks and Historic Sites to Georgia’s Brag Book

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.
