Ah, Paul Ryan, the athletic, youthful, sharply-dressed former vice presidential candidate and current Speaker of the House. With all on Ryan's plate, it's impressive that the man has time to maintain his status as the most unpopular politician in America. And yet, somehow he does it! 。
It's this impressive feat by Ryan that inspired two writers and comedians to create a nearly 200-page long satirical magazine devoted to Ryan, the ideas he's brought to Washington, and the print industry at large.。

, the pair branches out to tackle the more sinister subject of Trump-enabling conservatism in Washington. In a letter from the editor, Folta explains the choice to direct their satire toward Ryan, instead of Trump. 。
Why Paul Ryan? After The Incident In November, why not aim a satire magazine at the hog men tottering around 1600 Pennsylvania like sadistic Rodney Dangerfield stereotypes?
Because Paul Ryan is the disease that made this nightmare possible. Trump is, and always will be, a dark anomaly and a mistake. But Ryan is the fever. He left the gate unlocked with his cold triangulations towards power and a bastardized conservative wish list of fiscal goodies. Money is merit, after all. Never forget that Ryan’s favorite book is a dumpy work of fiction about industrialists overthrowing the government. His eyes roll back in his head as he fixates on the rivers of capital sloshing about. 。
For Lipstein and Folta, the white-bread-lightly-toasted-by-the-hot-breath-of-a-Koch-brother style politics of Ryan and his peers is as worthy of parody as the White House. 。Credit: Paul Ryan Magazine 。
