MNSpeak: Talk
Par has a blog
Or, at least, someone claiming to be Par has a blog, and it's hilarious.

I had tickets to yesterday's Prince concert at Macy's. But I had to skip it. Some friends and I had a late dinner planned by the pool with some friends. And it's a good thing I skipped it. Prince didn't start on time, played more songs than he was supposed to, and the show went late. What kind of respect is that for people who paid top dollar for those tickets?
ROFL ROFL
Best new blog.
OMG, too many songs! The fucking horror! Hope he had a good time by the pool with Buffy and Chip...
OK, I just read a little, too hilarious!
That is completely NOT his blog. There's no way.
But to whomever is writing this, you have a direct line on a job. Call me. (Hand signal earpiece-to-ear motion...)
Priceless...
Watch out, MNspeakers, he doesn't like you.
Oh, how much do I wish that was his blog.
Of course if it was in fact his blog that would be the most beautiful thing of all time. More perfect that Gary Hart and Donna Rice.
I didn't see him myself, but I heard Par was actually at the Macy's Prince show.
This is fantastic. In the heading it says:
After leaving the Saint Paul Pioneer Press, Par Ridder recently became the publisher of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. There's been some controversy with his changing roles, and he'd like to let people know his side of the story. Also, this blog is a parody. It's not the thoughts and opinions of the real Par Ridder.
And what's with Rex saying "he doesn't like you"? You may no longer be in MN, but you're still a MNSpeaker.
This is exactly why I love the internet.
See, that's humor.
It just doesn't get funnier than this.
I'll put bets on who is authoring this. I'll almost 100% sure I know who this is of these two ppl.
how was this brilliance out there for two weeks without any of us finding it? for shame.
Who are you people? Please get back to work.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahaha!
I'll get everyone's 1st round if Par shows to the next MNSpeak get together. I wanna see him and Kevin Hoffman can make a Matt Bartel sandwich.
I don't know this Koffman person, but I've heard of these Bartel's. They are a father and son duo, right? I really respect that.
Publishing a paper is hard. People just don't understand that.
(OK, my dad told me that.)
Hat tip to Par Excellence for making my day a little brighter.
Which is more than I can say for the dailies he dallies in.
Off topic and out of date, but this reminded me of the Harriet Miers blog when she was up for Supreme Court justice.
I thought it was more like Fake Steve Jobs but more sophisticated.
That's fine, if you're going to be at the top, you've got to deal with the spotlight. And people get jealous. I bet Kevin Garnett knows what I'm talking about.
I almost spit out my coffee. This is genius.
i guess i suck. didn't think it was very funny at all. i mean it was okay, but genius, rolf, spit out my milk.
you guys like kids in the hall too, right?
This is exactly why I love the internet.
yes...genius, along with "awesome" and "ironic" is one of the most overused and misused words in the English lexicon. But that Par site is really fucking funny.
My MENSA group was not amused.
Romenesko just top-lined my blog. It's about time people heard the truth. Lambert and Singleton are just meanies. Go PiPress Strib!
I'm sorry about making this Par ... my bad!
This is fantastic. Who's doing this?
those of us unhappy about the changes at the Strib are really, really enjoying this
I think I know who may be behind this one.
