Among the many, many jokes lobbed at Ryan’s expense over the last 24 hours, one of the most prominent was a fake (actual fake, not just Donald-Trump-calling-it-fake) New York Times article crafted by Shit My Dad Says creator Justin Halpern, which suggested that Ryan comforted himself in his failure by listening to the misery anthem of an entire generation: Papa Roach’s “Last Resort.”
