Ohhhh rats

The New York Times reports something a little disconcerting:

The fate of New York City’s legions of rats remained something of a mystery in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Rodent specialists predicted that many rats would drown in submerged subway tunnels, but also that survivors would feast on the buffet of garbage strewed in the streets. Now, several exterminators say they know exactly what happened to the rats: Driven from shorelines, the rodents came inland, in droves.

The Times goes on to describe just how bad it got in NYC..

The TIMES interviewed a pest control expert, Timothy Wong:

Mr. Wong said he had been getting calls from schools and businesses, and from luxury buildings where rats have made warrens out of the planters. Shortly after the storm, his company received calls from several customers aghast to discover teeth marks and droppings in their cars. Mr. Wong’s advice: open the door. Though one woman, a BMW owner, refused, and instead hired his company to open the door for her, and shoo the rat out.

A new world of possibilities in the city that doesn’t sleep–for rats.

THIS IS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN:


Beyonce critisized for wearing fur at Super Bowl .. maybe even worse, did she use secret Illuminati hand signs? No, really, did she?

Alabama hostage standoff ends

The HORROR REPORT did not put much on this website concerning the hostage standoff in Alabama between police and Jimmy Lee Dykes. But we were closely paying attention to it.. we were praying and hoping, like everyone else, that it would end in peace.

Tonight it ended. And by the grace of some higher power, the hostage taker and bus driver killer is dead and the child is alive and safe.

Art Bell: Not now! He will NOT be starting a radio program at this time..

Art Bell had many followers hoping and believing he would return to radio…and then he said this: ‘I was thinking of doing this for the wrong reason. I was angry with Premiere, I still am, but that is the wrong reason to launch a radio program.’

So with one Facebook message so many who were waiting for Art Bell’s return suddenly have the rug pulled out from under him…

Developing…

Full statement:

“Ok friends, here is a honest update. For NOW I have turned down a offer for the following reason. I was thinking of doing this for the wrong reason, I was angry with Premiere, I still am, but that is the wrong reason to launch a radio program. As I said when I last left, “never say never”. For now I will just say not yet.”

Screen cap to prove:

So this is how it ends? Not with a bang but a whimper? Not with a show, but the how air of George Noory blowing from the smoggy Premiere networks of Los Angeles? Hope was rising across the net of a (and another) return of Art Bell. Now dashed by his own ‘honest update’ on Facebook..Never say never? Some are asking on message board if they’ve been led down a false path.. one person on CoastGab wrote that he or she doubted there was ever negotiations for a radio show to begin with!

A private message to the HORROR REPORT on Twitter said that Art Bell just craves attention and that is the only reason he dangled the carrot of a new show in front of loyal fans.. But how long will fans stay loyal as they continue leaping high for the fruit they cannot reach?

An opinion from a reader on George Noory

George Snorry is far from Art bell.
Art was the best and will always be!!!!!!
Not blasting George, but George would dump the show to do politics in a NY minute if he could even get 70% of the pay he gets now.
Arts style and humor was awsome and his background music some call lame or out of date was BEYOND AWSOME.
There was a tad more humor and BS but thats what made it great!!!
Yet it was real in many aspects!
As for george making it better?
No,,it has not.
Many affilates kapoot the show after Art left.
Sure they added some bogus numbers but a far cry,,,Art made the show like you were there with him and a friend.
I remember Norry saying he’d run for president if his following called on him which was enuff for me…


Exactly the reason so many people listen to The FINE ART STREAM..

People may not have to anymore if he really returns to radio..
