Population: 17,101 regular folks, and one really rich SOB Yeah, the list of "10 richest counties" was compiled using "average income;" it would have been better had they used "median income" instead.

Nantucket airspace is restricted from the 20th to the 26th. Sounds like Mr. Obama to me, but I'm not positive. Too bad, I'll be in the neighborhood with my airplane I was thinking of heading over there. Now, probably not. Darn liberals.

Seven of the ten counties are in the DC metro area. Of those seven, six went for the Democrats.

It has always been obvious that he loves George Soros.

Funny only 3 overlaps between highest average and highest median. Though not surprising that some of the counties with decent size urban centers fall off the median list (e.g. White Plains in Westechester, Stamford in Fairfield County)

I like 2%, myself. Not as fatty but works on cereal in a pinch, and it doesn't have that gross, blue-tinted translucence to it.
