  1. Obama uses trillion dollar coin to get around debt ceiling

    Well, the US did print a few $100000 bills. (One of AH.com's least favorite presidents was on them.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_certificate Canada minted five C$1000000 coins, "because we can". http://www.mint.ca/store/mint/about-the-mint/million-dollar-coin-1600006#.Vh3DhPlVhBc They...
  2. 1968: A Year Of Turmoil

    Could the execution of Sirhan Sirhan cause anti-American sentiment in the Mideast?
  3. 2 Men Gunned Down: A TLIAW

    I wonder how this will go. BTW, did you play JFK Reloaded? I didn't, but you COULD kill both of them.
  4. WI: No U-2 Incident

    The shootdowns of the RoC and Rudolf Anderson's U-2s still occur.
  5. AHC: Capture and Kill Most Al-Qaeda Leadership by 2002

    Easy. Forbid the Kunduz airlift. Perhaps if Musharraf is not around?
  6. John McCain killed on the Forrestal

    His father may have a different career. The Keating Five may be only four. Campaign Finance Reform will have another champion. George W. Bush may lose to someone else in 2000. Sarah Palin may be impeached or be viewed very unfavorably.
  7. Robertson '88

    So fringers gonna fringe. Reform will shift to the far right. The religious right will abandon the Republicans.
  8. Robertson '88

    I'm glad with that- though hopefully nobody follows in his footsteps.
  9. WI: Steve Irwin Lives

    Well, perhaps he might take on Ken Ham.
  10. 1968: A Year Of Turmoil

    Hopefully Ichord would not want to bomb either side. If he did, hopefully, he'd bomb the nation that was the most aggressive...
  11. Robertson '88

    Well, the relationship may be on the rocks, but Robertson will hopefully not make it into office.
  12. Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran: An Iran war TL

    Will Pelosi be Speaker, or will the new, more radical Democrats elect someone who will fight, like Kucinich? If Kucinich gets impeachment, will he go after McCain on Iran, or Iran and Iraq? If he goes after him on Iraq, does he risk bringing down some Democrats? And with the conflict in Iran...
  13. The Road To Willa Cather Landing: GPUR General Election 2012

    And that's in addition to the lab at Brookhaven, where they make the "physics package" for the IRNA's nukes, or the (now-ex) Grumman plant where they make strike aircraft.
  14. The Road To Willa Cather Landing: GPUR General Election 2012

    Maybe in the Land of Confusion thread...
  15. DBWI No second Korean war

    I do think that Okryukwan's appeal isn't just satire or catharsis, though it's also not a sign for wanting ties to the North. They genuinely have good food, or so I hear. (The head chef got the James Beard Award for his recent book.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ongnyugwan
