Part Two is up.

When You Wish Upon A Star

You made my week.

PS: Ex-OTL'er here. It was the first online forum I ever participated. Ah, those epic flamewars against Wendell and GWB with no moderators...

 

[Constantinople]

Hope it's all good

Totally! Ah, OTL.com, sad times....

Those were fun! Communist

OTL.com was great. Whatever happened to the site? Or all of the users?

Scattered to the four winds until judgment day.

Good to see that you're still around.

Hell yeah! Crazy.

THE END OF PART ONE




TO BE CONTINUED...and this is all that's left to say.

I just spent the last three hours reading your story, my friend. It was fascinating and it was just plain scary.

And it could have happened, too.

Bravo, my friend. Bravo.

I just found this on youtube... and I think it sets the tone of the story fairly well. at least from my perspective.

Nice Kevvy.

Another great update as always, by the way. Roy Cohn clocking Lincoln Rockwell isn't the kind of image you see every day.

Not that the implications were subtle: One of the most iconic photographs of the era is of an obviously uncomfortable Senator Richard Nixon smiling gamely at the camera, arms around two beaming tykes as he wears one of the recently-developed Mickey Mouse hats.

I decided to give it a try. The kids aren't exactly beaming, but this is the best I could do at the spur of the moment.

This reminded me of this timeline: http://io9.com/5865600/a-dystopian-short-cartoon-about-a-cryogenically-defrosted-walt-disney

Disney dystopia!

So, no one jump on me for bumping this, but I have something substantial to contribute. Was rereading part of this, then noticed the 1960 election map Historico posted. While he did a good job, I don't think it accurately reflects the political alignment of the era (plus, a Democratic ticket with a Kennedy on it loses Massachusetts). So, here's my take. It's very close (271 electoral votes for Stennis to 266 for Rockefeller), but here it goes...

Your map is missing a map.

Damnit I had thought that there was finally an update, Reds just got one and I thought that was dead too. You hear that Statichos? Your losing in the rivalry I just invented for you to have with Jello_Brafia to see who can update faster!

Wait, what? I see a map...

It's When You Wish Upon a Star. This TL is done.
