This is the most amazing news I've seen in some time. From The Guardian:
Yale, the Ivy League alma mater of his good friend George Bush, confirmed yesterday that the former prime minister is to join the schools of management and divinity at the campus in New Haven, Connecticut, in the autumn. He will teach a course on faith and globalisation, looking at religion in the modern world.
Gobsmacked, I don't have much to say...
Although its safe to suppose that the seven deadly sins will be off the agenda, what is he going to go on about? Is he adding Gott mit uns! to the global class war? Will he finally reveal the Christian principles behind misleading and bullying people into waging brutal imperial wars for oil and Jesus? Perhaps a post-modern deconstruction of the moral imperative of increasing wealth disparities, unemployment, social instability and lower wages around the world?
The funny thing is, he's having trouble finding the time to enlighten young and impressionable minds given his prior commitments to JP Morgan and Zurich Financial Services Group Insurance.
