Or, put him on the rockpile, making little stones out of big ones.

Slightly tangentially: when Stone first started crying poverty three years ago, I wondered in this [thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-roger-stone-really-broke/830332) whether he was just posturing to get his followers pissed off at prosecutors for bankrupting their hero, and that he had money hidden in safe deposit boxes all over the world.

But with the advent of this auction, I think it’s increasingly likely that he really is broke. What say?

Hopefully, he’s not only broke but stone broke.

That might work out really well for Roger, if the question is volume of product available for sale: I hear he’s full of it.

Nifty to think, though, it’ll be the first time ever that blood will, eventually, _be_ extracted from a stone.

Seeing some potentially nutso stuff about Cawthorn’s marriage on the twitters. Waiting for a more proper write up to make sense of it. Something about being tricked to attend a CrossFit event in Russia that didn’t exist and meeting this woman. And before you reply “give us more details” that is what I’m saying, but I haven’t found any yet.

Ummm…you are aware that there was a CBS/NBC newsman with the same name ([Roger Mudd - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Mudd)). No reason to drag his name (he passed on this year) down with Roger the Hollerer…

Press on.
