“Roger Stone” on The Daily Caller

Every man’s closet must contain a trench coat. It’s hard for any gentleman not to look dashing when clad in this swashbuckling style. (more)

There is no article of men’s clothing that can make a man look more like a douche than the ascot. There are, however, a few men who can pull it off. Context is everything. (more)

American soldiers wore khaki uniforms during World War II. Men’s khaki trousers became fashionable after the war, as homecoming GI’s decided to continue wearing the soft, comfortable pants in their civilian capacities. Khaki trousers soon became the province of hipsters like Jack Kerouac and Miles Davis. They were taken to new heights by Ralph Lauren, who helped popularize them among college professors and preppy men. (more)

Every well-dressed gentleman must have an all-cotton oxford cloth button-down shirt from Brooks Brothers. (more)

Hats are back in fashion, with more and more men being seen this winter with snap-brim fedoras or pork pies. (more)

Don’t tell Roger Stone that Libertarian hopeful Gary Johnson can’t make a difference in November. (more)

In a recent blog post, National Review’s Jim Geraghty dismissed former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson’s Libertarian Party presidential bid. “Sometimes, a candidate just isn’t any good,” he concluded. (more)

Americans who favor the legalization of marijuana and same-sex marriage, and also want a balanced federal budget and a more restrained foreign policy, now appear to have an alternative to the two major parties in 2012. (more)

Last Thursday, Attorney General Eric Holder testified before the House Judiciary Committee about the fatal gun-running scheme known as “Fast and Furious.” The previous Friday, Holder had conveniently dumped 1,400 pages of Department of Justice (DOJ) internal emails that contradicted the DOJ’s February letter to Congress denying that the DOJ’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had “sanctioned or otherwise knowingly allowed the sale of assault weapons” to suspicious people. Holder was even forced to withdraw the letter from Congress due to its blatant lies. As it turns out, not only did the DOJ put 2,000 high-powered guns directly into the hands of Mexican drug cartel agents, but cartel agents used two of these rifles to gun down Border Patrol Special Agent Brian Terry. (more)

Veteran Republican strategist Roger Stone says a serious libertarian third-party candidate could pose a “great danger” to the GOP’s hopes of winning back the White House in 2012. (more)

The collapse of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.’s case against French banker and politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn has focused attention on Vance’s competence. (more)

Some fashion tips for the well-dressed male Daily Caller reader: (more)

One thing Donald Trump’s flirtation with a presidential bid showed us is that you have to take Obama on frontally to compete with him. The John McCain tactic of praising Obama as a great American and great senator “with whom I disagree” is a loser. You’ve got to call him out as what he is — a fraud and a disaster. He doesn’t understand economics, has no business or free-enterprise experience, and is spending billions in Libya and Afghanistan without having a goal other than re-election. (more)

Anthony Weiner is a crafty and worthy adversary — an unrepentant lefty who is usually a savvy media player. Today, however, he’s his own worst enemy as he tries to both deflect attention and avoid committing a crime — something my colleagues should have learned how to do before Watergate sunk our greatest president in 1974. If I can borrow from SNL’s music video, Weiner’s d@#k is in a box. I’ve been there too and there’s a way out if he moves quickly to embrace Stone’s Rules. (more)

There is no excuse for a well-dressed gent to wilt in the warm months. Here is The Daily Caller’s list of the good-taste must-haves for this spring and summer. (more)

“Of course I’d release it. In two seconds I’d release it. If I decide to run, I’ll absolutely release it,” Donald Trump said in an interview with The Daily Caller Thursday, referring to his own birth certificate. “I have it right on my desk. I have it right here, right now, right this minute. I am literally looking at it. Because, based on this I said, ‘do me a favor, get me my birth certificate.’ I have my original birth certificate right here.” (more)

As one who knows a little about sex and politics and the way the establishment manipulates the system, I must say the sex charges against WikiLeaker Julian Assange sure sound like trumped up bullshit to me. A lady who admitted sex was consensual said he didn’t us a condom and that was why she called police. The other chick is fishy too. She went to his hotel room and was drinking heavily. This is a snatch and grab. (more)

Christmas is just around the corner, and in honor of the occasion The Daily Caller’s offices have turned into a “Winter Wonderland,” complete with a tree and lights. We’re making our lists and checking them twice because even if Santa Claus decides we’ve been too naughty, hopefully mommy and daddy will come to the rescue. (Office coordinator Laura Baños wants a “Le Creuset Demi teakettle in Caribbean or royal blue;” relevant persons take note). But in the immortal words of Mariah Carey, “all [TheDC] wants for Christmas is you,” which, at the end of the day, makes for a kind of short list. So to fill it out, we decided to call around town and find out what’s on some other people’s Christmas wish lists. We trust you’ll find the answers as amusing as we do. (more)
