ANNOUNCING THE MIDDLE NATION
I have launched a new site called The Middle Nation.
The site was born out of a need of mine, certainly, and perhaps some other folks as well for the middle point of view of this country to have a voice. Politically I have always considered myself a moderate – someone who wants to understand as many sides of an issue as possible and believes in collaboration. It is from this spirit that I’ve launched The Middle Nation.
The weekend of October 30th my wife and I attended the Rally to Restore Sanity (and/or fear) and were moved by the crowd and of course by Jon Stewart’s call to civility and reason. I did some iReporting for CNN – those reports are all up on The Middle Nation or you can find them over at CNN.com.

This week in the Jungle we are searching for the truth about wealthy—what it means to be wealthy, how that differs around the world, and if and when wealthy people deserve to be treated differently than everyone else. Last week: poverty. Next week: big government.
