10. Taylor Swift — For the good of all mankind and the music business. No one gives two cents about your latest/feud/breakup/lawsuit or slight, so just go away.

9. Woodward Dream Cruise — It creates too much traffic and noise and its outlived its original purpose.

8. Bernie Sanders. Bernie, I love ya, but you’re beating a dead horse. You keep harping about “Millionaires and Billionaires,” but not many of us know those people.

7. People who parrot Trump — I lost it recently with a friend who said the “Washington and Jefferson” shit. Please. Just. Stop.

6. Maureen Dowd. — Oh boy, can the bait shop behind the Mena Airport be far behind?

5. Maria Sharapova — OK, we get it. You didn’t read your “annoying” emails from the World Anti-Doping Agency. And you bitched and moaned about not getting into the French Open or Wimbledon this year. But now, you’re in the US Open, starting Monday. I’d never thought I’d ever say this about you, but you’re fast becoming the female Jimmy Connors.

4. Not only do the players involved in yesterday’s melee between the Yankees and Tigers need to be fined and suspended, but the umpires as well.

3. Please stop with the reminiscing about the Detroit riot. The movie got great reviews, but has now mostly disappeared. So should the stories.

2. Louise Linton — To paraphrase Dean Wormer, “mean, ignorant and obtuse is no way to go through life, lady.”

1. Donald Trump — As if there was anyone else?
