When the bad guys become the good guys and the other way too

     I spend a large percentage of my television viewing time on channels 269 - 287.  These are the various History and Discovery Channels on Direct TV.  I call them the Hitler Channels, because you can surf through them any time of the day and usually find W.W.II stuff on one.  A while back it struck me that all this wall to wall documentation of the Third Reich, utilizing every bit of film stock available - including Nazi stuff, and the liberal use of interviews with old German soldiers, could only serve to put a human face on Hitler's little experiment in socialist rule.  Kind of what The Executioner's Song did for Gary Gilmore.  I'm glad to see that Texas TV stations will pull the CBS 'Hitler' TV miniseries.  Texans have been showing an extraordinary amount of common sense lately, including executing all those Democrat lawmakers and throwing their murderers out of office.  Go Cowboys.
