Donald Kaul has written columns for half a century, beginning with a long stint at the Des Moines Register that made him extremely well-known throughout Iowa. For many years, he was also syndicated nationally and his columns ran in dozens of other newspapers as well.
The non-profit editorial service Minuteman Media, which has since been renamed OtherWords began distributing his columns in 2001 following his retirement from the Register. In July 2012, he had a heart attack and declared that he needed a break. In December 2012, he un-retired again but said he’d decided to write without the constraints of a schedule.
Kaul, who was named a Pulitzer Prize finalist for commentary in 1987 and 1999, lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He is widely respected in Iowa for his role in launching the yearly RAGBRAI bike ride.
The Des Moines Register ran his first column after his heart attack on Dec. 30, 2012. That column was about the Newtown, CT shootings and written in Kaul's satirical style. Arch-conservatives pulled some of his satirical language out of context to accuse him of "advocating deadly violence against NRA, GOP leaders."
