Introduction My name is Michael Brady. I am a middle-class, middle-aged, white guy from middle America (privileged, but cognizant of it). My interests are varied. I aspire to appreciate the diversity implicit in the big picture while diving deep into issues which intrigue me. I enjoy dry humor, sharp wit, deep irony, roasted game, red wine, bourbon, and strong coffee! Lots of coffee...dark roast, no room.
