Douglas MacKinnon was press secretary to former Senator Bob Dole. He is also a former White House and Pentagon official. Mr. MacKinnon grew up on welfare and was homeless a number of times as a child and has fought for those near or below the poverty line for most of his adult life.

Mr. MacKinnon is also a columnist and novelist. His next novel will be out in late July of 2008 and is entitled, The Apocalypse Directive. The novel portrays a strict Evangelical President who grotesquely twists his faith as he prepares to do the unthinkable before his time in office is completed. Clearly, this is the novel Pastor Hagee does not want anyone to read.

Several years ago, in a column for the Los Angeles Times, I weighed in on the subject of "liberal bias" in film and almost instantly became a figurative piƱata in print, on blogs, and by email. From a polite, if somewhat off-base spanking via letter-to-the-editor by director Joe Dante, to...

In Defense of Clinton and Band

All that has made much of the American electorate sour on the media and the political process is now on display in the current issue of Vanity Fair. In a very lengthy article that can only be described as irresponsibly vengeful, the magazine and the author attempt to systematically smear...
