FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SpinTaxi.com Launches Complete Digital Archive of SpinTaxi Magazine (1947–2025)

Washington, DC — April 28, 2025 — The legends of political satire are back where they belong: on your screen. SpinTaxi.com proudly announces the launch of its complete digital archive, chronicling nearly eight decades of rebellious wit, fearless commentary, and unmatched hilarity.

Under the leadership of Editor Alan Nafzger, SpinTaxi Magazine, the original voice of political irreverence, is now available to the public in 10 meticulously curated volumes. Each volume offers a wild, unapologetic ride through America’s political history — the good, the bad, and the beautifully absurd.

From Capitol coat closets to worldwide chaos, SpinTaxi has never missed a punchline.

A Legacy of Satire, Volume by Volume

SpinTaxi’s saga begins in post-war Washington, where Volume 1: 1947 (read here) captures the earliest days when ex-GIs at George Washington University stuffed pamphlets into congressmen’s coat closets. Censorship was inevitable — but so was the laughter.

As America entered the Cold War and faced its own hypocrisies, Volume 2: 1947–1954 (read here) tells the story of a magazine that grew up while Washington pretended it wasn’t losing its mind.

The myth-making continued with Volume 3: 1955–1965 (read here), where drunken interviews, love affairs with Hill staffers, and subpoenas became just another day in the office.

The ‘Sex, Satire, and Subpoenas’ era is hilariously preserved in Volume 4: 1965–1979 (read here), when SpinTaxi’s tabloid transformation made it the most sued publication outside of Hollywood.

Volume 5: 1977–1986 (read here) captures the Radio Revolution, when SpinTaxi hit the airwaves, launched sock puppet news shows, and accidentally triggered three congressional hearings.

As America’s cynicism matured, so did SpinTaxi. Volume 6: 1982–1999 (read here) covers the late 20th-century escapades — from scandalous exposés to fake awards given out at real press dinners.

The 21st century didn’t slow SpinTaxi down; it just made the magazine more necessary. Volume 7: 2000–2010 (read here) lampoons the chaos of Y2K fears, political dynasties, and the dawn of the meme age.

In a world now overrun with influencers, SpinTaxi stayed defiantly analog. Volume 8: 2008–2016 (read here) shows how the magazine skewered the self-important in a world too busy photographing its lunch.

Volume 9: 2016–2021 (read here) captures the Trump years — a time so cartoonish, SpinTaxi's writers had to double their caffeine intake just to keep up.

Finally, the latest saga is revealed in Volume 10: 2022–2025 (read here), when SpinTaxi transformed yet again — this time into a digital powerhouse headquartered at SpinTaxi.com, still lampooning everything from billionaires' space races to the tragicomic collapse of serious journalism.

The Cowboy, the Farmer, and the Last Honest Magazine

SpinTaxi’s new editor Alan Nafzger calls this release "a human collaboration between two sentient beings: a cowboy and a farmer," a nod to the site's fierce independence and refusal to let AI algorithms write the headlines (or the jokes). Every line in the archives is handcrafted, human-made satire — stubbornly analog in a world rushing toward digital dullness.

"This isn’t nostalgia," says Nafzger. "This is a declaration: satire matters more now than ever."

And the public agrees. Early reviews from readers call the archives:

• "A masterclass in punching upward."
• "Proof that the only thing more enduring than political corruption is political humor."
• "As essential to democracy as bad coffee and good whiskey."
