Yarbrough: To good health and good food

Okay, it looks like I may live to fight another day.

Yarbrough: Happy birthday to UGA

What happens when you get a signer of the Declaration of Independence in a room with a signer of the United States Constitution?

Yarbrough: Not much peaceful about Nobel Peace Prize

Well, one thing you can be sure of is that I am in good company. It looks like I’m not the only one who got hosed by the Nobel Committee. It seems the president of the U.S. of A. was also passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize, even though he said he had stopped eight wars.

Yarbrough: The elephant in the room? It’s our Okefenokee

Don’t look now, but there is an elephant in the room. Well, it’s not exactly a room. It is our state government. And it’s not an elephant, either. It is our Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, which they want to pretend isn’t there and wish we would, too.

These words are dedicated to the memory of my late friend, Otis Brumby, Jr., publisher of the Marietta Daily Journal. He encouraged me to run this column each Christmas season.

Yarbrough: Attorney General Carr makes run for governor

I sat down recently with Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr to talk about his decision to run for governor.

Yarbrough: Turning down all those dukedoms

I got a lot of mail encouraging me to take the job as Duke of York, which I appreciated. I thought long and hard about it, but decided to take my name out of the running.
