Alternate Reality: What If The UK Won The American Revolution?
Can you imagine what life would be like if Britain had actually won the American Revolution? They came close to it, as it was, but what would have been the outcome of the world if Britain actually defeated the Colonists and regained control over them? This type of scenario is only speculative, obviously, but things might have been quite a bit different for Americans today had this outcome been different. Here are five possible outcomes if history had changed. Are they for the better or worse? Alternate time can only tell... Read more...

What If God Added Five New Commandments?
It came to me in a dream the other night. What if God came down and had five more Commandments to add to the list of ten? I am not trying to be blasphemous or uncaring about other people's religions; this isn't a "joke post" or a way to get people riled up. I'm serious. If God wanted to add some amendments or additions onto His laws, what would they be? What focus would He have in the world we live in today? If this post enrages you or you take offense to it, maybe it IS directed at you and you should take a hard look at your thoughts about what God "wants". All of these statements are altruistic. If God did write down five more commandments, I think it might go something like this... Read more...

What If Fox News Made Movie Reviews?
Welcome to the world of "What Ifs?" We're going to look at the harsh, fake reality if Fox News actually controlled our movie reviews. I am not trying to suggest anything derogatory about Fox's "Fair and Balanced" news umm...well, I guess it is "news" coverage, but they do have a way of separating reality with commentary. Somehow, that commentary always leans one way, too, so I can't imagine it would be any different when they reported on the movies that people go to see. Here is a look at what some of those reviews might be if they were to talk about our very favorite series. Read more...

What If: The GOP Destroyed The Unions?
What is happening to America? Seriously. The wealthiest two percent of our nation is going to get tax cuts at a point where they will save $70 BILLION dollars each year and conservative governors are stating we have to heel the middle class union workers because they make too much money! Their response to giving the wealthy more money is that it will be an incentive to hire more people. Seventy BILLION dollars. That means, they can hire an additional 2.8 million people each year with a wage of $24,000 ($11.54/hour) and reduce unemployment by 10% on their own. But they are going after Union workers now and pitting middle class people against each other. So what if it really happens? Read more...

Who Really Killed John Lennon?
Thirty years ago today, John Lennon was murdered by David Mark Chapman as Lennon and his wife walked outside of the Dakota Apartment building. Chapman, supposedly upset about a scribbled autograph that he received earlier, shot Lennon at point blank range. Thirty years later, when John Lennon would have been 70, we are still trying to Imagine a world with him in it. Their are conspiracies about the entire incident. Did Chapman act alone or was there more to the story? Here are five theories about what happened. Read more...
Five Reasons the Beatles Were Not The Best Band
First off, before I get hate mail, here is my disclaimer: I really like the Beatles. I just don’t buy the hype that they were the best band ever. Being a “best band” involves a lot of responsibility and the Beatles just can’t hold that mantle. Many people hold an emotional tether to this group. They have great songs. Memorable lyrics. But the Beatles were not the best band. Let me explain in further detail. Read more...
