Wonkette World o’ Books is a bit late to the party on this week’s Fine Read. The Christmas Sweater , a curious coming-of-age novel by beloved teevee lunatic Glenn Beck, was actually published in 2008, which took place a full, what, THREE years ago, almost? A picture book version (for the kids) and a film/one-man-show version (for chortling libtards with money to burn on a goddamned Glenn Beck movie) followed in 2009. There were many amusing reviews. But no one, it seems, had read the novel that led to the comical movie/show. Until now.
“'We weren’t wealthy, we weren’t poor — we just were.' This Zen family runs into hard times early on. Eddie/Glenn’s father dies of cancer, then his mother dies in a car wreck..."
In other words, they just were and then they just weren't.
Dad further explained that even if I was starving, he would refuse any help. And if, God forbid, my mother was dying of treatable cancer but we didn't have health insurance, we would not accept government help. "Your mom would rather die", he told me. Then he told me to stay out of that goddamn socialist free public library. "The only book you need is right here", he said, pointing to his autographed edition of "Mein Kampt".

I wondered where the Maoists disappeared to.

Yes, Meta goes there so the rest of us don&#039;t have to.
What about kosher soy bacon?
Just like Alien.
Just like the world of fashion.
Put the book in perspective. This is a man for whom Atlas Shrugged and the Book of Mormon represent the highest achievements of the English language.
But once you&#039;re Out you can&#039;t go back In...Out is Out.
I have a feeling he&#039;d enjoy the former two FAR too much for the latter.
Can&#039;t wait for <i> The Christmas Sweater: The Broadway Musical!</i>. Beck hasn&#039;t exhausted this cash cow quite yet.
You mean SPRANG from his brain. He opened his brain once and it popped out like those snakes in a can.
