There is this guy, I shall call him for brevity Pissed Cousin. Full name is As'ad Abu Khalil, according to himself he is a professor of political science at California State University, Stanislaus and visiting professor at UC, Berkeley. Which goes a long way to explain Berkeley. I need no more explanation about this peculiar branch of science called "political science". This is just one more case of this widespread malady. But in general, I wouldn't know Pissed Cousin from an Amazonian spotted crawfish if not for Judeopundit who tends to mention him from time to time.
Well, the point is that somebody else linked to one of his posts today, and, while looking at it, I have noticed a certain trend on his page of January 29 (when lots of Egyptians were killed in the clashes with the army and the police):
Notice there are six separate posts on this page. I'll leave the rest of the analysis to you, but I am certain that at the end you will figure out the anomaly. You shall also figure out what the whole Egyptian brouhaha is about, at least according to the Pissed Cousin...
You will also understand better the battle cry of the Pissed Cousin:
Every fighter for justice in the world should ask himself/herself daily: what have I done against Israel today?Well, I, personally think that Pissed Cousin could (and should) do better than mere 3 posts out of 6. On the other hand, he might get overexcited, and this could lead to a misunderstanding with his female students at Berkeley - it's tough there nowadays with all kinds of correctness, you know...

Let's. Although, being a pessimist... oh well.
Angry Arab, huh? Isn't that redundant?
He is full of anger. Kind of Major Major in anger.
I think he just topped himself:

Oh boy... the man must have his head examined urgently. That over-excitement I mentioned will be his undoing.
a VISITING professor at Berkeley, Snoop, and therein lies the rub. He doesnt want to visit, he wants to work at Berkeley. Berkeley is part of the University of California system, which is way more expensive than the California State University system, and UC is geared to more theoretical approaches and research than the CSU system is. At CSU this guy actually has to teach students, whereas at UCB he could just sit in his office and do his own thing while his graduate students did his teaching for him. If he worked at Berkeley he could spend his day getting ready for TV appearances where he could spew his opinions until he turned blue in the face.
I see, thanks, Akaky. On the other hand, he looks to me perfectly Berkeley-ready. Of course, I don't claim to know much about Berkeley, only a few students and the general buzz...
