Two Americas

There's the America where the people can afford $400 hair cuts and then there's the American where I live.

I pay $12.

Carbon indulges aren't the only extravagance available to the super-rich.

Update: John Edwards also paid $225 for whatever services are provided by

"the Pink Sapphire in Manchester, N.H., which is described on its Web site as "a unique boutique for the mind, body and face" that caters mostly to women."

And, he paid $250 to a "trendy salon and spa" in Dubuque, Iowa.
