Great...perhaps he will join the Skull&Bones club that the conspiracy folks love to mention...



BOSTON (Reuters) - Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair will teach at Yale University in the next academic year starting in September, leading a course on "faith and globalization," the Ivy League school said on Friday.

Yale, the alma mater of U.S. President George W. Bush, said Blair had been appointed Howland Distinguished Fellow, a post that dates to 1915 and which has been occupied by such notable individuals as former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and journalist Sir Alistair Cooke.

I thought Yale was one of the Ivy League schools?

That's maybe why the Ivy League school said it?

My only hope is that they are old enough to resist manipulation?

NewMember ... that is why I was surprised they think Tony Blair will be any use as a teacher, especially on "faith and globalization".
