Below is a e-mail my friend Eric Moore sent me.

"Back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for income tax evasion and, as required by law, the Feds tried to run the brothel for eventual resale in order to compensate the taxpayers for the unpaid tax amounts. The Feds miserably failed and the Mustang Ranch was subsequently closed. So, we are now trusting the economy of our country to a pack of nit-wits who couldn't make money by running a whore house and selling booze? We're in deep trouble .."

How true is this??? Not only that but they had a monopoly on it in sin city and couldn't make money at it..... Ya, I'm a strong advocate of national healthcare :()

BR'ER, I still check in at my Amazon page about every two weeks or so, and I just now saw that VERY FUNNY comment you left on my review of "The Unseen Hand." Ha! That was some good stuffs, man.

Hey, I was in Reno just last June and there were plenty of souvenirs for sale bearing the Mustang Ranch logo. Are you sure it's now out of business? I didn't have time to visit there. What will become of all those lovely "ladies" if they have no place to offer their wares?

Doh! Not June! I was there in September. See what happens to my mind when I drink this eggnog without any additives?

Oh, I remember some news report saying it wasn't open anymore some time ago. I really didn't fact check on this as I thought the e-mail from my friend Eric was quite funny, and it wasn't meant to be breaking news. If it's open I feel they should close it... However, if the government owns it you can bet your life it's probably loses money. Maybe they moved the operation to Bohemian grove. :()
