What if… …Yamamoto had sent a third wave to Pearl Harbor? …Stonewall Jackson had not been killed? …Czar Nicholas had been a real mensch? …Richard Nixon had hired a professional television make-up expert? These types of questions are the basis for historians who have employed a lively approach to the topics. There is a second tier of far less serious historical conjecture. What if… …Napoleon had RPGs at Waterloo? …the 7th Cavalry had three Browning Automatic Rifles at Little Big Horn? …gangsters of the 1920s and 1930s settled disputes by slapping one another until the loser cried?

W has a flashback to Yale smokers and New Orleans strip bars simultaneously. The result is another Bluto move on the world stage. Check out German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s clenched fists in the bottom photographs. I shudder to consider the result of his unbridled, stallion lust had the Chancellor reacted as did Rep. Cynthia McKinney to being grabbed. “Mobilization! We must defeat the Hun!”
