The following is supposedly a true story. To be included, besides

funny.
Los Angeles Times, November 24:
Banning, Blythe and Barstow no longer qualify as "distressed" cities
under federal guidelines, nor do Adelanto, Lake Elsinore, or Loma
Linda.
But Beverly Hills does.
According to a new U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
list, Beverly Hills can apply for about $56 million a year in
business development grants reserved for small cities suffering
"physical and economic distress."
