New Jack City?!?

Perhaps they should be given a real badge, salary, and a license to do this full time?

Aside from the re-selling of product, I see nothing wrong with this at all. In fact, it makes me laugh because I suppose the saying is true: "There is no honor amongst thieves!"

Former President Clinton is planning to speak at a Yellowstone County Democratic fundraiser in Billings on May 10.

Kate Downen, communications director for Hilary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign in Montana, says Bill Clinton is scheduled to attend the Truman Day Dinner, at Alterowitz Gymnasium at Montana State University Billings.

No other details of the visit were immediately announced.

Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal is scheduled to speak at the same dinner on behalf of Barack Obama's candidacy for president.

Strong spring storm aims for Billings, Southeastern Montana

By The Gazette Staff

Southeastern Montana, including Billings, could get slammed tonight with a strong spring storm that could leave 2 inches of snow on the ground in Billings by Friday morning and 10 to 16 inches farther south and east.

Higher elevations in the Bighorn, Beartooth and Crazy mountains could get 10 to 15 inches.

Hardest hit probably will be the southeastern corner of the state where the National Weather Service has issued a patchwork of winter storm warnings and watches through evening and overnight.

A winter storm warning was issued through Friday morning for Powder River, Carter and southern Rosebud counties, including the towns of Ekalaka and Lame Deer. Six to eight inches could be on the ground by tonight, and the total could reach 10 to 15 inches by Friday morning. North to northwest winds at 25 to 40 mph could cause blowing and drifting, making travel treacherous.

A winter storm watch is in effect through evening for southern Big Horn County and the Sheridan foothills in Wyoming. Six to eight inches could be on the ground there by Friday morning. Winds could blow from the northwest at 20 to 35 mph.

Custer and Fallon counties, including Miles City and Baker, are also under a winter storm watch. Up to 6 inches of snow are expected to cover that area by Friday morning. Winds will be from the northwest at about 20 to 35 mph.

Chance of precipitation in Billings today is 30 percent increasing to 70 percent by tonight and falling off Friday morning to 40 percent. Rain is possible today, and snow is likely overnight.

Unfathomable...

This video left me speechless. Thank G-d I live in a state where the highest building is 24 floors. Seriously, the highest building in Montana is 24 floors.

Anywhoo, please view the attached clip and remember to bring the following with you the next time you travel in an elevator: cell phone, Immodium A-D, deck of playing cards, carton of cigarettes, canteen, 5-6 magazines, and a paperback book.

A whole new meaning to, "Please approach the bench."

Welcome to a new feature on Henry's: News from the Montana. As a resident of the last, best place, I think I would be dis-servicing faithful readers by not availing them of news west of the Mississippi, especially news as ridiculous as this:

You ever wonder what judges wear under their robes? I try not to, especially after reading this story: Judge accused of seeking favors.

Chapter 4...

We here at Henry Village are feeling rather nostalgic for some comfort that made us happy as kids… There is not much that can top this:

What to do with Matzah

My mom sent this to me yesterday, and the idea of posting something my mom emailed is one I would usually not do with zeal. I don't think this blog is the place to post pictures of my niece eating my dad's shoe while on the toilet. However, this was too good not to pass on:



What would you do with Matzah? I think I would act like a shark in the bathtub.

Hello? Hello?

My reputation has proceeded me. I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Henry for inviting me to share my arbitrary and capricious musings on the world at large. Seeing as how we have never met, I am pleased that Henry thinks highly enough of me to invite participation in this venture.

Hi, my name is Dan.

I am a cousin-in-law of editor-in-chief of this blog. Nepotism applied.

I live in Billings, Montana. Yes, I live in Montana. I hail originally from a small place named Exton, PA. It was a good place to grow up. However, not good enough it seems as I have escaped 2,200 miles away. I am glad to add a Montana perspective to this east coast-centric operation. Red Sox fans are obnoxious enough, yet they see fit to blog non-stop about their inane fandom. Nobody cares if Kevin Youklis's OPS is 3 points lower in April 2008 than it was for away night games played in domes in April 2006. Red Sox fans do.

That's why I am here. To counter-balance what is sure to be items I disagree with on principle.

More to come.
