Buildings housing window prostitutes are seen in Amsterdam's Red Light district in this May 1996 file photo. A public housing corporation has purchased a large number of the buildings that house window prostitutes in Amsterdam's famed Red Light District, the city said Thursday, Sept. 20, 2007, in a deal that may ultimately lead to a third of the windows being shuttered.

They have all moved to Nevada, the home of Sen. Harry “Mr. Ethics” Reid and his family of lobbyists.

Maybe we should rename him as “Redlight Reid”.

Wait a minute! I’ve got an idea.

Why don’t they legalize all the victimless crime?

money laundering? What, someone wanting to launder dirty money gives a $100 to a prostitute and gets clean change?

My, the criminal mind is always working.

I take it Mayor Cohen’s plan is to take prostitution out of the red-light district and put it in the city-council chambers...where it belongs...

Yeah, that’s about right. About 1 in 3 of those windows I would shut down. Part of an Amsterdam beautification project.

The move is intended to break a logjam in an multi-year effort by the city to cut back on the windows, which it says are a magnet for crime and money laundering.

But, but, everyone's always telling me that legalizing 'victimless crime' would mean that there's less crime!
