This isn't a local story, but U.S. Senate Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is coming to Seattle on Friday, so that gives me an excuse to run this oddity from today's Las Vegas Sun :

CARSON CITY - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is known for his frank talk even, it turns out, when it comes to sex.

Reid was asked today during a talk with supporters about developing an immigration policy to attract educated, child-bearing immigrants to help counter the U.S.'s aging baby-boomer population.

As the Carson City crowd chuckled at the question, Reid drew quiet, then said:

"Let me answer it this way: I'm not opposed to sex."

The crowd cracked up.

"By the way," Reid added with comedic timing, "Tiger Woods is making a comeback this week."

Reid is three hours into day two of his bus tour that today is traveling through northern Nevada.
