140 Illuminating Rules

            The best way to dress while reading Roger Stone's new book....Stone's Rules....How To Win At Politics, Business, And Style....would be two-day worn...stretched out of shape grey tube socks...with a moderate amount of grass stains on them....too much grass stain and you look like the gardener in Never-never Land.  A tank tee shirt would fit in.....with suspenders (clips)....and maybe pink flips-flops (because pink goes well with the green grass stains)...and a cowboy hat (providing that you live east of the Mississippi). If you are eating spaghetti for breakfast...wear a purple tank top just in case. The used handkerchief hanging out of your back pocket should never match the spaghetti stains on the tee-shirt....and the green snot on the handkerchief might clash with the Marinara sauce. The best place to read the book would be on your recliner.....set halfway back......drinking an Iron City beer....with more potato chip on your chest then in your hand at any one time.
            Are you wondering where I'm going with this? Well this is how the book reads....sort of....only it's written by an obvious gentleman whereas I'm just a Bible-thumping....pro-life....two men might make good cell mates in an English prison for saying what they believe...but not good soul mates walking down the aisle....necessary voter once every two years....who can then go back to my Bible study or praying or whatever I spend my time doing.
            Roger Stone is not James Bond although he may think that he is.....but he is Ian Fleming. His style in everything is impeccable....believe me....I tried to peck it....can't do it. Stone and Donald Trump are twin brothers....kindred spirits.....separated in birth by six years due to Donald's hem-hawing over making up his mind if he wanted to completely enter the world facing left...right....or the middle.
            Stone's book is a heavy read.....I don't mean deep but literally heavy as each page is laminated. The highlighter goes on easily and shows up well. I used peaceful green to offset the power bleeding off every page. Don't get me wrong...it's a good book.....Tucker Carlson writes the Introduction. Where else would I find that clip-on suspenders (excuse me...braces) are never to be worn....or that "breast shirt pockets are a mistake...unless you are a nerd."
           If you are still upset over the time in kindergarten when that kid purposely spilled his chocolate milk all over your Davy Crockett nap rug....and want to get even with him....this book is motivation! If you are a lawyer in a big firm...looking out on the Hudson from the 88th floor....you absolutely need to read this book. You will not know how to dress or act or eat or probably litigate if you do not. If you are running for any political office above dog-catcher.....you need to read this book.....or you will not know how to pound your enemies into dust....or trick people into voting for you. If you are a Christian.....then you must go out right now and buy the book.....and turn off your iPhone so that the constant Trump text dings do not take your mind off of what you are reading....for what you will find described in the book is Donald Trump's world.....the world that you are now in.....and if it doesn't scare Donald Trump out of you.....if it doesn't make you cry out in anxiety how you could have been so tricked....and if it doesn't cause you to immediately unsubscribe from President Trump's twitter group therapy......then you are probably too far gone.
