Thought this was interesting: http://news.yahoo.com/video/politics-15749652/clint-eastwood-for-vice-president-26960983.html#crsl=%252Fvideo%252Fpolitics-15749652%252Fclint-eastwood-for-vice-president-26960983.html What effect might this have had on the politics of the 1990's?

An account of a much more influential/mainstream Rastafarian movement in the US during the 1970s and how it changed our society. Next: A Kind of Homecoming

Better question: what if the South had let the North secede? :)

Earth, political, ciraca 1900 with the continent of Islandia (from Austin Wright's novel of the same name).

In late 1963, Secreatary of Defense MacNamara apparantly strongly considered scrapping the DynaSoar Program (then known as the X-20). What effect would this cancellation have had on the space program, or space exploration in general?

Don't know enough about Hastert to orumate an intelligent response to the question, but am interested to see this timeline.

Found htis at Wikipedia: How would this have changed Israel's fortunes (if at all) had he accepted? Would a high profile and popular person like Einstein changed the early years of Israel in that position?

What is the state of aviation in your world? Is there an active space program? Has anyone been to the moon? If so, who was the first perosn to set foot there? Mars?

The helicopter/airship hybrid thing is an interesting idea, but just make sure you do it better than these guys did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7jENWKgMPY

John Cho would be a good choice, IMO. He could certainly do the younger more action-oriented Obi-Wan we saw in the prequels (judging on his Sulu in the 2009 Star Trek movie). On Yoda - what if he stays basically the same, but Mifune does his voice rather than Oz?

Okay, let's say Mifune did portray Obi-Wan in the original SW movies. Who would have been the younger Obi-Wan in the Prequel Trilogy (assuming that still happens in this timeline)?

Oh, if only Piper had lived another ten years. *sigh* He wrote some great stuff as it is, but I think given more time he would have been up amongst folks like Heinlein. And, if I might add: it's not right that Piper's work is out of print while John Scalzi has "re-written" Little Fuzzy and...

why does everybody on this board insist on reversing the party colors in their maps? Very confusing and unnecessary.

Perhaps there would have been more Islandia from him. A trology rivaling Tolkien's Lord of the Rings*, maybe? With more exposure the youth movement of the '60s pick's up on the Islandia books and it's utopian themes. *Yeah, yeah, LotR isn't technically a trilogy.

I'm currently one of her constituents, and don't think she's too bright.

Really liking this timeline. Good fake out with the Carter thing. The slightest possibility of a President Patty Murray makes me shudder to the core of my being.

As a resident of Washington, I think that would have been pretty cool. Unfortunately, Washington didn't become a state until 1889 when Lincoln would have been about 80 years old, making him very very healthy, or a somewhat short-term Governor.

Oh, yeah. I think was a bit rough on Clinton, though. Even if he does deserve it. Also, he sure takes the demise of NASA a bit personally, doesn't he?
