It’s like Fake Steve Jobs for journalists

This is guaranteed to not be interesting to a single Here in Katie’s Head reader, but damn, the fake blog mocking Star Tribune publisher Par Ridder is really well done. It’s not easy to capture the arrogance, paranoia and feigned optimism of a newspaper executive. Ridder and his critics provide ample bait to a would-be satirist, but this blog gets the caricature just right.
I hope its writer wasn’t hit by the Strib layoffs. Wait, did the PiPress have layoffs too? Either way, this person deserves a job.
Hmm, Katie, Are you Fake Steve?

I wish! I don’t have enough time to keep this blog regularly updated.

That is true, he does need a job, and Par Excellence is quite a hilarious piece of work.
