HISTORY'S UNMARKED GRAVE: I've been commenting for years that due to its heavy reliance on Nazi-based programming, The History Channel should be called by the more accurate name of The Hitler Channel. But in recent months they've sort of changed their focus to a different dictator. Take Sunday's prime-time schedule, for example:
7PM - Snipers 8PM - The Horrors of Hussein 9PM - Sons of Saddam 10PM Mail Call Live From Gulf 11:07PM Conquest
I think now the "H" at the bottom of the screen no longer stands for "History" or "Hitler," but rather "Hussein." Saddam never got this much attention from them back when he was still in power...
