Yarbrough: A BRIDGE to graduation, then work
The HOPE scholarship has kept a number of Georgia's brightest kids at home and has vastly improved the academic quality of our state's universities and colleges. If a college education isn't your bag, the state of Georgia also offers one of the best technical education systems in the nation. Great universities and great technical schools in the same state: That combination should be a win-win for our young people, but the wonderful world ...
Yarbrough: Underdog Democrats plan revival
A couple of weeks ago I visited with Georgia House Majority Leader Jerry Keen, R-St. Simons, to get his views on the upcoming legislative session. Last week, I stopped by to see what House Minority Leader DuBose Porter, D-Dublin, had to say about things.
Yarbrough: Reflections on growing a year older
I have survived another birthday and am happy to report that I am still on the right side of the grass.
Yarbrough: Some helpful advice on water crisis
Dear Gov. Perdue: When you decided to run for governor a few years ago, I'll bet you never thought you had signed on to manage the worst water crisis in our state's history. Usually, our governors just make a lot of speeches and issue proclamations and talk about how they are going to improve public education.
Yarbrough: Random thoughts from a ‘moran’
Lordy, I upset some Georgia Tech fans a couple of weeks ago by poking fun at their all-night Welcoming Event and Brand Alignment hootenanny on Nov. 1. One reader told me that students no longer use slide rules at Tech, as I had implied. I suppose that means they've also given up the T-Squares they used to wear on their belts like pistols.
Yarbrough: Rap meets Wreck at Grant Field
On Thursday evening, Nov. 1, Georgia Tech, my third favorite team in the whole wide world (UGA is first, anybody playing Tech is second, you can figure out the rest) meets Virginia Tech at Grant Field in Atlanta.
Yarbrough: Chambliss discusses PeachCare, water, war
Sen. Saxby Chambliss called the other day to update me, and you, on a number of issues currently ricocheting around Washington, including continued federal funding for the State Children's Insurance Program, known in Georgia as PeachCare.
Yarbrough: A beautiful child needs your prayers
If you have tuned in to see who is going to get sledge-hammered this week, the answer is no one.
Yarbrough: Reflections on Iraq, two years later
It has been two years since my trip to Iraq to see the war through the eyes of Georgia's 48th Brigade Combat Team located in the aptly named "Triangle of Death," south of Baghdad. The longer I am away, the scarier it seems.
Yarbrough: Lost friend a reminder of what matters
Don't look now, but Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It's a good time to get things in perspective, to reflect on all the things for which we have to be thankful. In truth, we should never let the sun set without giving thanks for our blessings, but we are usually too focused on being nibbled to death by ducks to appreciate how good we have it. It's called human nature.
Yarbrough: Water, taxes top state GOP’s agenda
Don't look now, but the state legislature opens for business in about eight weeks. You might want to hide the silverware.
