I wonder if Hugh was as psyched about the results as I am about ours. (I'm certainly glad I'm not posting an eight-thousand-word cluster F-bomb like the guy in my userpic.)

November 4
[Aberrant] The US Presidential election.
Canonically, Randel Portman wrests a narrow victory from Mark Green, ultimately decided in the Electoral College. (In other ( Read more... )

I'm running late, but I'm running.

June 15
[Aberrant] official beginning of the Aberrant timeframe. There are approximately 40 Aberrants worldwide, all in either deep cover or hiding. To date, neither Corbin nor Rousseau has been captured, and the identity of Slider's assassin remains an official mystery.

News from opposite sides of the divide.

May 30[Aberrant] The mysterious Sophia Rousseau contacts the fugitive Corbin (Proteus had feared she might get in touch with Slider). Their underground organization immediately begins contacting friends and acquaintances in the nova community, as well as newly erupting novas. The group's goal is to expose ( Read more... )

Schroer began the Republican nomination process as a virtual unknown; his platform calls for continued economic reform and a return to so-called "common-sense" values. He wins a narrow ( Read more... )

Not the real-world election result, but one a lot of people would prefer. (I'd certainly prefer this to a Bush victory. Then again, if Bob Schroer were the GOP candidate seeking re-election this year, I'd side with Hugh in wanting him back, from the sound of him.) And wouldn't it be a hoot if Michael Badnarik (the OTL Libertarian candidate) got in ( Read more... )

Politics. Even in a world where yesterday wasn't the significant September anniversary, one can't get away from them.

[Aberrant] Lauren Pendleton, later the 44th President of the United States, is born in Irvine, CA.
Right now, Congresswoman Pendleton (L-CA) is part of a campaign in which third parties play a more important role than they do ( Read more... )

Real life intrudes.

1999
[Aberrant] In this week's Newsweek International, General V.P. Malik, chief of the Indian Army staff, insists there was never any possibility of a nuclear confrontation with Pakistan.

Our time line does, or did, have a General V[ed] P[rakash] Malik, and he really did say:

No, it was never an issue. Any possibility of ( Read more... )

It's rare that I have to lead off one of these with a correction, and (as etherlad, at least, will have noticed) rarer still that I make the correction obvious.
