Between disparate worlds-A Cal State professor is the wit behind the bite in the Angry Arab News Service blog.
Los Angeles Times, June 7th. 2005
Angry Arab News Service, a popular blog "that provides links and edgy leftist commentary about the war in Iraq, Lebanese politics, Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and yes, even Saddam in his skivvies", was created by As'ad AbuKhalil , a Cal State Professor, who claimed "I am politically angry, but in my personal life, I am a happy guy." What makes his political stands out is 'its sense of humor in the dour left-wing landscape'.
"With every reason to mope, AbuKhalil does not".
"Each day at the top of the blog, AbuKhalil reproduces a 20th century painting, just for art's sake. (A disclaimer at the bottom of the blog states that it is an "educational web site and may include copyrighted material in accordance with … US Copyright Law.") "
"He devotes about 2 1/2 hours a day to his blog, reading three Arabic-language newspapers, plus the New York Times, and headlines from the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post. Sitting on his bed with his computer on a special stand, he monitors the information delivered to his Sony Location Free TV via two satellite dishes that bring the world to his Modesto home. "
