Portfolio magazine is to the media world what Sam Palmisano is to technology — you know they’re still out there, somewhere, if only because you’re pretty sure that if they’d gone out of business you’d have read something about it, yet you never seem to see Portfolio anywhere or hear about anything they’ve said or done lately. They’ve been publishing for a year and a half and the only buzz they’ve generated has to do with the huge turnover in their editorial staff, where hacks keep bailing because of the poisonous atmosphere.
Now it appears Portfolio.com is resorting to Onion-style satire, as with the above video where they interview Donald Trump’s developmentally disabled hellspawn and use it in a segment called “Moments of Brilliance.” Man, the power of the Conde Nast brand really draws the A-list business celebrities, doesn’t it? Who’s next to share a “moment of brilliance”? Ed Zander? MC Hammer? Yeah. Great job cracking that lucrative business magazine space, Conde Nast. You cats are on fire. No seriously. I mean it.
While I miss Fake Steve, so far Real Dan is bringing the snark, which is ultimately all I really want from this blog. However, I must note that the transition from FSJ to RDL has been about as smooth as “upgrading” to Vista. I’m still not clear why you decided to abandon your alter ego. Were you just getting sick of it? Were you feeling sorry for RSJ and his possible health problems? Was it driven somehow by the new Newsweek gig? Will FSJ make occasional guest appearances, or is he gone for good? Maybe you explained all this already and I missed it, but I wouldn’t mind a little closure before fully embracing the new (old) you.

I don’t think that those kids are Donald’s, they don’t have comb overs. Well at least not yet

Ivanka? Oh man, the things I would let her do to me.

Oh, and as long as we have the occasional uproar over the blatant use of sexuality being used to sell a product, along with pictures of such hideous acts so we all know what to look out for, then that’s great too. How else would I have gotten my wallpaper for my computer. I suppose we could keep alerting you as to these atrocities against nature.
