      1. OK, bad takes are one thing, but Twitter anons peddling factually false claims about my family require a correction. My dad was NYPD, retired as a captain in 1986, & would have laughed at the idea that I got a lawyer job a decade later because of him. https://twitter.com/turdducken/status/1252089117120348163 …

      2. Like the Russian bots asking about my DUI (it was the Cards announcer, not me) this is probably a mistaken-identity thing this guy got from some bad Googling. A distinguished, recently-retired corporate partner at my firm was also named McLaughlin. No relation!

      3. It was a running joke at work, we worked together on things (including his treatise) & often got each other's mail & calls.

      4. My grandparents were immigrants; my parents' generation, 1st in my family to get some college degrees (my dad, night school late in life), mine the 1st to go away to college. Some of my uncles did quite well. My dad was content to see that we got further than he did.

          Dan, I appreciate your pain here. I went to the best Catholic high school in Chicago (my 6 older siblings went to lesser schools, though still Catholic ones) because of many sacrifices on my working class parents’ part. Many wrongly assume we were wealthy because of where I went.

          Yeah, and I have nothing against people who had advantages. You can't choose who you're born to. But I'm at the level of visibility now where people do these kinds of whispering campaigns into the ears of folks with bigger megaphones.
