Wheeling and dealing

There has been a lot of publicity for James Franco's recent purchasing of the film rights to memoir Holy Land. But that is not the only deal Franco has struck in the last week. He has also purchased the rights to Glenn Beck's Arguing With Idiots, with the hopes of turning it into the next great war epic. It is likely that Franco was too busy to actually read Beck's book, judging it only by its sales numbers and misleading cover.
