1. According to a new study, Dallas leads the state in having the most expensive health care (a writer to Andrew Sullivan has first-hand — or first-face — experience). So Mayor Tom Leppert is trying to get to the bottom of the problem, chatting up the president of Cigna HealthCare’s Texas region about the whys and wherefores. Wait. “First-hand”? Did I just miss a chance to make a joke about the mayor’s over-sized mitts?
2. Jack Borden is a lawyer in Weatherford. He’s 101 years old and still at work, which makes him a good choice to win the award for the nation’s “Outstanding Oldest Worker for 2009.” His advice for longevity? “When you’re old, you have to have something to give you pleasure,” he says. In Borden’s case, that means fornicating with supermodels and mainlining black tar heroin. Sorry, that’s a typo. He actually just chews tobacco.
3. Governor Rick Perry and Senator Kay Baily Hutchison will debate each other right here in Dallas. On hearing the news, Wick’s political pants grew visibly tight, and he immediately started drafting questions for Perry.
