Well, Antiwar.com is making budget cuts and so my gig doing Antiwar Radio and assorted assistant editor type jobs around the site is over. My thanks to Eric Garris and the rest of the crew for having me these past 7 years. Doesn't look like we've stopped any wars, but at least we told people the truth about them. Also thanks very much to all the readers, listeners and volunteers who've helped me all this time. I'll be trying to keep the show going on the Liberty Radio Network and my own...

All the archives will still run at ScottHortonShow.com until the new site is up and running. I'm also officially seeking donors and sponsors for the show. I'll do my best to keep it going, but I'm going to need your help. Have a company? Want to sponsor...
