Aids-drug-gouger, Martin Shkreli, was found guilty of security fraud and faces up to 20 years in prison. At the press conference, Shkreli’s attorney apologized for Shkreli’s bad people skills. An attorney is apologizing for his people skills? He must have the people skills of Jeffrey Dahmer.

Since you asked:

Martin Shkreli, Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, Mark Zuckerberg. You can love them. You can hate them. You can call them liars, traitors and thieves or heroes, visionaries and geniuses. One thing I know for sure: they are all world class douche-bags, dweebs and assholes. 

Sean Spicer turned down being on “Dancing with the Stars.” He did not want to appear bush-league or that he was hedging his bets.

Donald Trump told “Sports Illustrated,” the White House is a dump. But, seriously, how long can you expect a guy to go without pooping in a gold toilet?

Donald Trump is off to a 17-day vacation in New Jersey. Actually it is a 10-day vacation that, because it's in New Jersey, just seems like 17 days.

A 30-year-old Swedish man died during penis enlargement surgery. The procedure to make a tiny penis look bigger than it is? It’s called a Scaramucci.

This is this week’s story about growing up in North Shore of Chicago that sounds like an urban myth, but it is not. 

My buddy’s older brother’s best friend was invited to a Lake Forest (Where Oprah and Michael Jordan lived) rich guy’s daughter’s coming out party circa 1967. Or Debutante Ball. 

The rich dad told his baby girl no expense would be spared, so he asked her what her favorite band was. She said she had two. So he said, fine, we’ll have one band play on Friday night and the other on Saturday night. She told him the names of the bands and he got his top flunky to book them for one night each. 

Before the party, the rich guy dad confided to a parent, “Man, bands have gotten expensive since we were in high school.” He thought they were just local Chicago bands. 

They were The Doors and Cream.

Donald Trump has appointed a lot of Generals, General Kelly, General Mattis and General McMaster. And Donald's son, Eric, General Disappointment. 

The foul-tipping Chicago Cubs fan, Steve Bartman, wrongly accused of causing the 2003 NLCS loss, has been given a 2016 World Series ring. The bad news is Bartman dropped the ring and it fell down a sewer. 

Los Angeles has been awarded the 2028 Olympics. If you’re planning on driving to Los Angeles, you might want to leave now.  

Anthony Scarmucci has a smarmy press conference, gets the Chief of Staff fired, Reince Priebus, gives an on-the-record obscene interview to “New Yorker,” misses his baby’s birth and his wife divorces him and then he is fired. Good luck finding a Hallmark card for that.

Every once in a while you read a story that unexpectedly just gut-punches you. David Feherty losing his 29-year-old son to drug addiction is one of those. 

David is a talented and genuinely funny golf announcer. And like a lot of funny people I admire, he has two things in abundance: flaws and honesty. His flaws were chronicled with his victorious struggles with alcohol, which he addressed with his uncommonly open honesty.

The loss of his son to drugs has to rip open bandages of guilt for David. How much did his struggles with his own flaws affect his child? One has to hope the strength and courage David found in his struggles will continue during this new, awful fight. 

People who do not get that Trump’s statement for cops to be rough to suspects was a joke do not understand just how wrong Trump is about his being funny. 

There are a lot of people, like Trump, who think they're funny and they're not. (Some readers might say this blog's author) 

Not many of those have had paid sycophants laughing uproariously at their awful jokes for 40 years.

You almost can't blame him, but Trump genuinely thinks he is hilarious and he is dead wrong.

At a Milwaukee Brewers game, Chris Christie got in the face of a Cubs fan who heckled him. Christie is a loud, thin-skinned bully. How has Trump not hired him?

At a Milwaukee Brewers game, Chris Christie got in the face of a Cubs fan who heckled him. Christie was booed at a Mets game, and he was criticized for going to a beach he closed. How does Christie have time to be the least popular governor in history?

Chris Christie was criticized for going to a beach he closed, he was booed at a Mets game and confronted a heckler at a Brewers game. How does someone suck at going to the beach and baseball games?
