Warning!!!
Unless you have hours to waste stay away from this link to Patch Work Nation.  You may have seen this map used on various news shows since it came on-line as part of the Christian Science Monitor's tracking of the 2008 Presidential Election. 
The serious explanation from the home page follows
Quote
Patchwork Nation:
    * Divides the U.S. by county into 12 community types using demographic, political and socioeconomic data.
    * Tracks 24 representative communities to see how economic trends play out at the local level.
    * Analyzes national data by community type to give the big picture more context.

I am a map lover so maybe I'm a special case, but;  If you have a curiosity about things like  counties that have a Crackle Barrel restaurant overlayed with voters for Barack Obama or John Mclain then this  time waster is for you.  ::)
