Government Housing Structure Infested with Criminals and Rats
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)A government-subsidized housing structure has fallen into a dangerous state and has become thoroughly infested with criminals and rats, a leading congressman warned on Saturday.
The building has become the territory of vicious gangsters who roam freely and consider themselves above the law, Representative Elijah Cummings, a Democrat of Maryland, said.
The congressman added that notorious gang members took over the housing facility in early 2017 and have spread terror and despair there ever since.
People are scared to be there, Cummings said. Hundreds have fled.
He said that the horrific conditions within the housing complex are one of the nations worst-kept secrets. Many of the people who have fled over the past two years have written books about it, he said. But the criminals continue to run wild.
The congressman said that he was speaking out for the benefit of the residents in his Baltimore, Maryland, district. I am alarmed that the nations worst breeding ground for crime is less than fifty miles from Baltimore, he said.

The Smothers Brothers mark their CBS firing 50 years ago
NEW YORK (AP) Getting fired from work isnt usually a cause to celebrate. But the Smothers Brothers arent your run-of-the-mill comedians.
The duo has stepped out of retirement to commemorate the day 50 years ago when CBS canceled their show over their political impudence.
Tom and Dick Smothers aged 80 and 82 respectively reunited Monday for several appearances at the Chautauqua Institution and the nearby National Comedy Center in Jamestown, New York.
Its really an honor to be honored in this way, Tom Smothers told The Associated Press on the eve of the events. At least were both alive and not having someone speak for us. We can mumble our own way through.
The two discussed their firing in an onstage discussion and later unveiled a display of archival material they donated to the center, including their iconic red suit jackets, Toms guitar and Dicks bass, scripts and creative papers, and legal documents.
