Tony Blair is that man.

He is at it again, but this time he will be teaching future leaders at Yale. What will they learn from him? Perhaps , "How to use Faith and Globalization to your advantage". :-)

NEW YORK (AFP) — Former British prime minister Tony Blair is to take up a post teaching at Yale, one of the top educational institutions in the United States, the university said Friday.

Blair, who stepped down as prime minister last year after 10 years in power, was to lecture on faith and globalization as the Howland Distinguished Fellow, and would start in the next academic year, the university said.

His work at the university would relate to the work of his Tony Blair Faith Foundation, which he is due to launch later this year. Blair is known as an observant Christian and converted to Roman Catholicism last year.

"The appointment of Mr. Blair provides a tremendous opportunity for our students and our community," Yale President Richard Levin said in a statement.

"As the world continues to become increasingly interdependent, it is essential that we explore how religious values can be channeled toward reconciliation rather than polarization.')

I was being sarcastic when I said he makes me laugh. A close look at his 10 years in gov. says it all.
