DENNIE REGAN SURFACES AGAIN IN LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT
Where There's Smoke And Mirrors There's Regan

The Snarkery Starts Now


Here's a blog which raises excellent questions about Dennie Regan's short but turbulent tenure as Pittsburgh Operations Director, and why Opie's nomination of Dennie to Public Safety Director was the STUPIDEST FREAKING THING EVER.

MacYapper - Some of you MacYippers have yet to awaken to the fact that Opie's proposed elevation of Regan was more than just a minor snafu, it was a MAJOR MISTAKE OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS.

MacYapper's Pittsburgh City Paper Vox Pop column is available TODAY on the streets of the 'Burgh. It's all about the tightening race between Opie and Mr. Peduto-head for the Democratic endorsement.

Available Thursday on line at www.pghcitypaper.com

The sudden, sharp decline by the Dow Jones Industrial Average shortly before 3 p.m. Eastern time today was triggered by a tabulation delay by Dow Jones data systems, which calculates the average. There was a temporary lag in calculation of the 30 large-stock average due to a surge in order flows as the market continued to tumble in afternoon trading, much like a clogged pipe. Just before 3 p.m., Dow Jones Indexes switched over to a backup system to calculate the average, which nearly instantly registered the huge move.

MacYapper - I'll watch Jim Kramer spit and shout later to figure this stuff out, but from what I can tell so far, A FREAKING COMPUTER SCREWED UP AND SO MY 401 K TANKED.

The future is now. We are controlled by machines. And the future blows.
By low. Smell high.
Smell ya later.

CHINESE STOCK PLUNGE SETS OFF WORLDWIDE SELL-OFF
LONDON: U.S. stocks plummeted Tuesday as concerns that the Chinese and American economies were cooling and fears that shares were overvalued sparked a global market decline.

MacYapper - Couldn't we just put our heads together and get the money laundered?
Is that a weak attempt at an incredibly feeble joke?
Herrrrooooo?????????

OSAMA'S HAVING A PARTY AND WE'RE INVITED

ABCNEWS.COM
In the most definitive statement in years, America's top intelligence official said Tuesday Osama bin laden is in Pakistan actively re-establishing al Qaeda training camps.

The newly appointed Director of National Intelligence Jack McConnell made the assertion about bin Laden and his No. 2 man, Ayman al Zawahri, in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Referring to Pakistan's rugged tribal area, McConnell said "to the best of our knowledge that the senior leadership, No. 1 and No. 2, are there, and they are attempting to re-establish and rebuild and to establish training camps."

MacYapper - As you anticipate, I have nothing new to offer except the same old grumping about TAKING OUR EYE OF THE FREAKING BALL IN THIS STUPID-ASS WAR IN IRAQ instead of, you know, doing that nutty military strategy called ACTUALLY ATTACKING THE M'F'ERS WHO ATTACKED US!!!!

Call me crazy, but it seems like WE TOOK OUR EYES OF THE FREAKING BALL, NO?????

And does it make me a whiner to remind you that WE HAD THE S.O.B. SURROUNDED IN TORA BORA but we decided to use surrogate troops who let him slip away so we BLEW OUR CHANCE TO HANG THE BASTARD?

MacYapper - Meantime, back in the world of important matters,
http://perezhilton.com/ raises a critically important question:
Madonna was trying to get Penelope Cruz drunk a the Vanity Fair Oscar party because ________?

MacYapper - Not really much of a brain twister.

Meantime http://www.tmz.com/has an exclusive interesting new theory about Britney's malady.

TMZ has learned Britney Spears' troubles may have little to do with substance abuse. Sources say doctors at her rehab facility think the underlying reason for her trouble may be post-partum depression.
MacYapper says let's get Tom Cruise, find Britney and beat the crap out of her.

POST-GAZETTE.COM:
The Penguins won't accept a one-year lease extension to stay in Pittsburgh, keeping the pressure on state and local leaders to cut a deal for a new arena or face the prospect of losing the franchise to another city.

MacYapper - Whine, whine, whine.
They're not going anywhere and they never were.

Whining millionaires make me hurl.

ROCK ON MAC-YIPPERS!
