1. Some Dallas billionaires are stepping up to help build a new Parkland Memorial Hospital. Harold Simmons (and family) has pledged $50 million. Trevor Rees-Jones (and family) has pledged $25 million. But you, dear taxpayer, you’ll be asked in November to put up $747 million. Dallas is turning into a great place to get sick.

2. Jessica Simpson says to Philly: “We’re gonna kick your butts, too!” I look forward to seeing her strap it on and take the field.

3. Bite-size cake balls are a popular new treat with home cooks, bakeries. It’s true. Seriously. Look it up.
