Ever since the Occupy Wall Street movement coined the protest slogan "We are the 99 percent!", it has been bandied around as an admonition of the income inequality that has grown through the U.S. in recent years. But as anyone will tell you, the 99 percent isn't a homogenous group, much less do all its members have the same interests, ideological inclinations or even incomes. Neither do members of the hated 1 percent, it seems. more ›

After suffering so much public humiliation during his utter failure of a lawsuit against the Washington City Paper, one can understand R******* owner Dan Snyder needing to lick his wounds. Now, he can do so on a 224-foot superyacht! more ›

A Newsweek report shows that 7 of the 10 richest counties in the country are in the D.C. metro region. Newsweek used data from the 2009 Census to inform their rankings. The richest county in the country is Virginia's Loudoun County, with a median income of a staggering $114,204. Following are VA's Fairfax County (number 2), MD's Howard County (number 3), VA's Arlington County (number 5), MD's Montgomery County (number 6), MD's Calvert County (number 9), and MD's Charles County (number 10). Yeah, those suburbanites have a lot of money. more ›

CNN.com's Money Magazine has a new ranking out that lists the top U.S. cities or towns in which to snag a wealthy significant other, and Arlington, Va. is in the #2 spot. With 41.6 percent of Arlington's population listed as single and a median family income of $108,815, the Northern Virginia county is second only to Hermosa Beach, CA, where the median income is $137,941 and 47.2 percent of the population is single. Now, given that fewer than 20,000 people live in Hermosa, while Arlington has about 200,000, we might quibble with Money's ranking just a smidge. But Hermosa Beach is also billed as the sexier option: there you'll find "sun-kissed singles roller-blading along the Strand bike path or surfing," where as in Arlington, "scientific geniuses and government types dominate." Fair enough. Herndon, Va. also makes the list, coming in at number 8, with 33.2 percent of population single and a median income of $109,217. Seems fair to say that the only place we can think of in the metro area that's less sexy than Arlington is Herndon. more ›
