![]() The Christmas Sweater, Autographed in a Collectible Leather Display Box $25.00 A 13-year-old boy is given a Christmas present by his single mother, the only thing she can afford: a sweater, which he scorns, having wanted a bicycle. He crumples the sweater into a ball and throws it on the floor of his room. When his mother dies in a freak car accident, Eddie is sent to live with his grandparents, with only the sweater to remember her by. Orphaned, bitter, angry and alone, Eddie is tormented by dreams of the way he treated his mother, until he meets someone who understands him: a next-door neighbor who may or may not actually exist. With Russell's help. Eddie is able to come to see the sweater as something that will stay with him for the rest of hist life, and ultimately it teaches him that the true meaning of a gift is that it is given with love. From Glenn: "I began writing this story with the sole intention of only sharing it with my family. But something happened along the way: The story took over and wrote itself. There were things I had spent years trying (and eventually succeeding) to forget that just spilled out of the end of my pen; stories that I had never intended to share with anyone. Yet now that the story is out, I share it with joy. It's almost as if it wanted to be told... And while some of the names and events have been changed, what follows is, at its core, the story of the most important Christmas of my life. In the spirit of this blessed season, I share this story as my gift to you. May it bring you and your loved ones the same joy it has brought to me." ![]() Autographed "Arguing with Idiots" in Limited Ed. Leather Giftbox $37.50 This special edition of Arguing With Idiots has been personally autographed by Glenn Beck. It happens to all of us: you're minding your own business when some idiot informs you that guns are evil, the Prius will save the planet, or the rich have to finally start paying their fair share of taxes. Just go away! you think to yourself - but they only get more obnoxious. Your heart rate quickens. You start to sweat. You can't get away. Your only hope is... ...this book. Glenn Beck, author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers An Inconvenient Book and Glenn Beck's Common Sense has stumbled upon the secret formula to winning arguments against people with big mouths but small minds: knowing the facts. And this book is full of them. The next time your Idiot Friends tell you how gun control prevents gun violence, you'll tell them all about England's handgun ban (see page 53). When they tell you that we should copy the UK's health care system, youll recount the horrifying facts you read on page 244. And the next time an idiot tells you that vegetable prices will skyrocket without illegal workers, you'll stop saying "no they won't" and you'll start saying, "actually, eliminating all illegal labor will cause us to spend just $8 a year more on produce." (See page 139.) Idiots can't be identified through voting records, they can only be found by looking for people who hide behind stereotypes, embrace partisanship and believe that bumper sticker slogans are a substitute for common sense. If you know someone who fits the bill, then Arguing with Idiots will help you silence them with the ultimate weapon: the truth. |
