There is a news story up on the drudge report right now that details the difference in the cost of Sen. John Kerry's haircut vs. Sen Hillary Clinton's haircut. Apparently, Sen. Kerry pays less than Sen. Clinton does, even though the same person is doing the cutting.

There are a lot of things wrong here, the first of which being: Who cares??!?

But aside from that, there are apparenly legal issues here. The District of Columbia has a law on its books that abolishes gender-based pricing. This law does not even allow for increased work load - a hair cut is a hair cut apparently. California has basically the same law, although they allow for pricing based on the amount of work done. So, the good Sen. Kerry is apparently recieving a discriminatory price break for his hair cut. He is also apparenly lying about it, saying he is paying the same rate as Sen. Clinton. Typical of politicians to break the laws they make.

Which brings me to my other complaint: With all the problems that this country has, do our law maker really have time to sit around worrying about making sure barber shop pricing is "Fair?" Who were the lobbyists for this disaster??
