Mike Munger's haircut


Mike MungerJohn Edwards doesn't have anything on Mike Munger.

The Libertarian candidate for governor may not have gotten a $400 haircut, but he did get a doozy of a trim this week.

Munger, chairman of Duke University's political science department, had his long, curly hair ironed, pulled into pigtails and shorn for the Locks of Love charity. 

In recent months, he had grown his hair long, leading one colleague to describe him as looking "like an aging rock star."

According to his blog, Kids Prefer Cheese, Munger gave his hair away to commemorate his wife's survival of breast cancer in 2004.

"To all of you who have wondered about, or openly mocked, my hair....that's why I grew it out," he wrote.
