Tony Blair is to teach students at Yale University in the US when he leads a seminar on faith and globalisation.

The former prime minister has been appointed as a fellow at Yale and will begin teaching next year.

The prestigious Connecticut university said the work was related to Mr Blair's Faith Foundation which will be launched later this year.

Mr Blair's other appointments have included as a Middle East envoy and an adviser to investment bank JP Morgan.

Maybe he's going to be a faith healer, laying on of hands, ministering to the sick and praying that his little scams with GWB don't end up belly up.

Of course this could just be a precursor to the next job as Pope Tony.

1. so how does his faith jibe with the murder of 100,000+ iraqi civilians? nt

3. The osteoporosis division of the Skull 'N' Bones has a new lapdog.

Poodle's links to Yale are as ever highly dubious.

His former Downing Street gargoyle rottweiler Ruth Turner - she who was busted by UK cops at 6 am one morning in the cash-for-honors probe - has a father, Dennys Turner, who is Professor of Divinity at Yale.

Dennys Turner was instrumental in young Ewan Blair (IQ 47.5) getting a $50,000 scholarship for postgraduate studies at Yale.

How can Blair justify working for God as well as Mammon given his reported $5 million JP Morgan sinecure, I wonder....

15. God and capitalism go hand in hand.

Ever since the Crusades. From a review of "Thy Will Be Done" by Gerry Colby:

The Rockefeller-led effort to conquer the Amazon and exploit its natural riches had been made possible in no small measure by SIL's missionary activities. Colby and Dennett found a historic parallel in John D. Rockefeller, Sr.'s support for Christian missionaries in the American west, who were compiling extremely useful information on Native American communities, which were potential sources of opposition to the entrance of Standard Oil into their lands.' As a bonus, the evangelization process weakened the American Indians' social structure and so undermined their resolve to fight for their rights. The authors quote Baptist reverend Frederick Gates, who for many years was John D. Sr.'s right-hand man, as saying that "We are only in the very dawn of commerce, and we owe that dawn to the channels opened up by Christian missionaries.... The effect of the missionary enterprise of the English speaking peoples will be to bring them the peaceful conquest of the world."

14. Blair should be a war crimes defendant at The Hague

Blair's "faith" included the assassination of Dr. David Kelly.

16. Yale is really going down the tubes. It used to be a great university.

The Bush Crime Family is remaking Yale University into their own image. Sad.
