You could call him a tonsorial consultant, but Carl Troup, the St. Petersburg man who cuts Gov. Charlie Crist's hair, prefers a simpler title: barber. Yet Troup (pronounced troop) can be found under the phone listing Northeast Pyramid.
Still, after the St. Petersburg Times contrasted John Edwards' haircut with the $9 Troup charges Crist, his phone started ringing.
"I've got about six new customers today already," Troup said.

It's true. If other people in power could learn how to save money like Charlie, I think we'd be in alot better shape.

Yeah, but I am sure that Edwards had more environmentally friendly shampoo used.

Edwards has been telling us for years there are two worlds, now we know there is his world and the rest of us working stiffs. $400.00 for a haircut could have done a lot of good for someone in need.

It only goes to show you how wasteful these people are with money - Charlie looks great with his $9.00 hair cut.
