The tiger:county data is actually kinda useful. I've been using it to 
know where the county lines are according to TIGER, to make the county 
boundaries more precise in my area.

It's also nice to see tiger:county values on nearby streets when mapping 
power lines in Potlatch, so I know just how carried away I got without 
having to leave the editor and zoom way out. But that's probably a 
fringe usage. :)
