Two Amhairicas
By Mitch Berg
John Edwards is right. There are two Americas.
One America goes to Great Clips. And the other America pays more for a haircut than I paid for a car until I was 34 years old.
At first, [Edwards’] haircuts were free. But because [high-end stylist Joseph] Torrenueva often had to fly somewhere on the campaign trail to meet his client, he began charging $300 to $500 for each cut, plus the cost of airfare and hotels when he had to travel outside California.
Torrenueva said one haircut during the 2004 presidential race cost $1,250 because he traveled to Atlanta and lost two days of work.

I make sure I bring my Henry Sibley football discount card (Sibley sells those as a fundraiser and you get discounts at area businesses) to Great Clips and get $2 off.
I wonder if Edwards uses a coupon. Like maybe the original bill was $1,252.
WSJ had a nice column Monday on how Kennedy changed the Democratic party from the party of the little guy/underdog, to that of rich elitists.
