  1. DBWI : USA land on the Moon first.

    OMG!. Are we back on this Yankwank AGAIN?!? Mods, can't we drop this into the Sealion thread zone and all get on with our lives? What's next? JFK didn't live though Dallas? C'mon people!

  2. With Teddy as VP, can Humphrey win 68?

    I don't think that any of the Kennedy brothers would agree to play second fiddle to someone else running for President, except maybe another Kennedy. They always seemed to regard the Office of the President as theirs.

  3. WI: Tobacco Products Completely Banned in the United States

    Everyone is forgetting about the greatest tobacco addiction of all - TAXES! No politician is giving up Billions of dollars each and every year. Smoke 'em if you got 'em!:D

  4. Challenge: Better North American Natives

    1) Making the natives more resistant to the European introduced diseases is practically the only way they have any chance to push-back or at least hold onto what they have before contact. 2) Let the Aztecs not be overbearing oppressors that they were OTL. Then their conquered neighbors might...

  5. A pattern is emerging...

    Rome's Golden Age of Television began with wonderful original productions of theatrical dramas and comedies, live music, art, documentaries and insightful panel discussions about the pressing issues of the day. It began it's long slide down with sitcoms, soap operas and movies-of-the-week and...

  6. AHC: Wonder Woman Film

    Sorry to bust the original POD, but I think that for "Wonder Woman" to be able to be made you need to have "Supergirl" become as successful as "Superman" was or nearly so.

  7. Compulsory Medical Service?

    Wait. What? You want to draft people first THEN force them to become medically trained? That sounds like a very bad idea to me. If you need to increase the number of medical staff you could offer government grants or scholarships to med school students with the requirement for them to work...

  8. DBWI: FDR does not die in 36

    Yeah the one whose wife and her cabal of female lovers tried to drug induce a crippling stroke and rule America through him, like they tried in 1917 with Wilson. Wanted to create some kind of hive nation with themselves (of course) as the queen(s). Thank God for J. Edgar Hoover! The Plot was...

  9. Cultural Ramifications of a Destroyed Statue of Liberty

    Uh, Donald Trump, obviously, with a casino in the base.:D

  10. AHC: Graf Zeppelin commissioned

    Thanks zoomar! Any TL that saves the Hood to fight another day is a worthy TL. :p

  11. DBWI Has anyone ever heard of "Doctor Who"

    Even it this Doctor show gets made, who is going to watch it? And for how long? Everyone knows the BBC makes the worst television shows in the English language. The last thing the "beeb" tried to export to America was a show about 2 old fat ladies riding around on a motorcycle cooking dinner...

  12. DBWI: An Enduring Second Amendment

    Yeah, the police state had to wait a few years until the Feds deleted the 1st, 4th and 6th Amendments as well. Aren't you happier and safer now?

  13. Alternate Secret Soviet Projects?

    This sounds like the plot from the old Get Smart movie, "The Nude Bomb". :D

  14. DBWI: The Bismarck was hunted down in 1941

    The Brits might have saved some time and money from their extensive efforts to air mine the approaches to the French ports in trying to keep the KM bottled up in them. I'm certain the those Coastal Command bombers could have been better used in spotting and hunting U-boats. Also, the French...

  15. WI: Project Vanguard Achieves Earlier Success

    The Vanguard booster was just a poor choice for America's first space launcher. It used too much new and untested technology to be reliable at the time. Also too many panicked politicians screaming to launch something...anything NOW...to get the newspaper and columnists off of their backs...

  16. DBWI: More states in the USA

    Of course we could. Let's just annex Canada! That would give us at least 10 more states (some really BIG ones too!). When to do it? Say after WW I. Tell the UK to pay up their war debts now, in cash, or we'll write them off for Canada.

  17. What changes are the most likely to significantly delay new world exploration?

    How about hitting Europe a couple more times with the Black Plague stick, say around 1400 to 1450, than in OTL? The rich survivors would get richer from inheriting all the dead relatives property ensuring that they get busy consolidating their new positions of wealth and power. The peasants...

  18. AHC: Make the worst movie you ever saw good

    Wing Commander "Wing Commander", one of the worst video-game movie adaptations EVER! It was so bad that it's director, Chris Roberts, has never directed another movie since! I won't try to polish this turd with new actors, scripts, etc. I'd just take a knife to it. Cut out any scene with...

  19. STAR WARS: Princess Leia destroy The Death Star

    Only the TV Buck Rogers was predated by Star Wars. The original comics and later movie serials of Buck had Wilma in them. True, her character was limited by the arcane female stereotypes of the 30's and 40's culture but she still was developed into a action heroine.

  20. STAR WARS: Princess Leia destroy The Death Star

    Sorry, don't agree. There is plenty of time in the 70's for Leia to step into the Heroine role. See Col. Wilma Deering from "Buck Rogers" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilma_Deering In the 70's TV series she kicked ass more often than not.:)
