United Nations To U.S.: ‘Eat A Bug’

Toy Gun Buyback? Just Shoot Me
By Danny Tyree on Thursday, June 13th, 2013
Tyrades! By Danny Tyree According to Townhall.com and other sources, Stobridge Elementary School in Hayward, California may be shooting itself in the foot, publicity-wise. As part of a safety day, the school sponsored a touchy-feely toy gun buyback program, rewarding students with books and bike raffle tickets if they would surrender their evil make-believe weapons. Principal Charles Hill assures the public that the collected guns will be destroyed and thrown away, but I suspect they ...
Father’s Day: Can It Survive?
By Danny Tyree on Wednesday, June 5th, 2013
Father’s Day: Can It Survive? My son Gideon (age nine) assures me that he will be a good father someday, but will that be an empty accomplishment?

The subject comes up because of the recent debate over the nation’s aging infrastructure, spurred by the ...

Homeowners displaying collectibles for sale need to receive some sort of stipend for enduring endless sob stories from shoppers whose mothers saw fit to dispose of ...

By Danny Tyree on Thursday, May 16th, 2013
Tyrades! By Danny Tyree If the United Nations gets its way, the American diet will undergo an amazing metamorphosis. According to the Associated Press, the U.N. is touting edible insects as a low-fat, high-protein food for humans, pets and livestock. The international body believes that if we would join the two billion earthlings who already merrily consume bugs, it would go a long way toward fighting hunger, global warming, pollution, unemployment and frog envy.
