Maybe He Can Tell Us About Warp Drives
I've always thought that Ted Kennedy lived in an alternate universe, but now he admits it:
Briefly, Kennedy rewrote the outcome of the 1964 election. "This nominee was influenced by the Goldwater presidency," he said. "The Goldwater battles of those times were the battles against the civil rights laws." Only then did Kennedy acknowledge that "Judge Alito at that time was 14 years old."
Harry Turtledove ought to hire him for some new story ideas.

I wonder if Mary Joe lives in that timeline?

The Goldberg Presidency??? I sure don't remember reading about that in any of the history books I've read. Wonder how many martinis ole' Ted had before speaking this time?

...nor will you read or hear about the Goldwater presidency.

LOL! I just realized what I wrote before. Sorry about that. Goldberg+Goldwater=Brain Lapse. Although, it would be kind of an interesting thought experiment to put Jonah Golberg of NRO in the Presidency...

I have an idea for a Kennedy alt history, but I think the title "A Bridge Too far" has been taken...
