John Andrews Gets Back to Basics
The Independence Institute, one of the original state-based think tanks, is almost 25 years old. This effective little organization was the brain child of a young Mr. John Andrews. I am greatly indebted to this man. Not only has he been a strong friend when times seemed bleak, a fine mentor and a fellow freedom fighter, but quite simply, if he didn’t create Independence back then, I’d likely be flipping hamburgers now. You see, and I know this doesn’t come as any surprise to you, but I have absolutely no employable skills. How I backed into this gig is anyone’s guess. But if John didn’t create Independence back then, the only thing I’d be saying into a microphone now is “would you like fries with that?”
Well now the former Colorado Senate President is going back to his roots as the director of the Centennial Institute, a new think tank being created by Colorado Christian University. Centennial will work to enhance public understanding of the issues relating to “faith, family and freedom.” They couldn’t have chosen a better man to lead it. And, in pure self-interest, this gives me possibility of another job in about 15 years.
