Georgia Humorist And Political Writer Celebrates Thousandth Column

Some people read the local paper for news and sports. Others head straight to the columns. That's where you'll find Dick Yarbrough , who has never run short of opinions. The iconic opinion-wielder enters about 600,000 homes across Georgia and addresses more than one million readers each week. The Georgia Press Association named Yarbrough's column "most humorous" several times — although some politicians don't appreciate his sense of humor at all. Yarbrough spoke with On Second Thought host Virginia Prescott about his career writing columns for more than 20 years.
