      The Port Chicago disaster was a deadly explosion that took place on July 17, 1944, at the Port Chicago Naval Magazine in Port Chicago, California, in the United States. Munitions, which were being loaded aboard a cargo vessel bound for the Pacific Theater of Operations, detonated, killing 320 sailors and civilians and injuring 390 others. Most of the dead and injured were enlisted African-American sailors.
      A month later, continuing unsafe conditions inspired hundreds of servicemen to refuse to load munitions, an act known as the Port Chicago Mutiny. Fifty men, called the Port Chicago 50, were convicted of mutiny and sentenced to long prison terms. Forty-seven of the 50 were released in January 1946; the remaining three served additional months in prison.
      During and after the trial, questions were raised about the fairness and legality of the court-martial proceedings.[1] Due to public pressure, the United States Navy reconvened the courts-martial board in 1945; the court affirmed the guilt of the convicted men.[2] Widespread publicity surrounding the case turned it into a cause célèbre[3] among African Americans and white Americans; it and other race-related Navy protests of 1944–1945[4] led the Navy to change its practices and begin in February 1946 to desegregate its forces.[5] In 1994, the Port Chicago Naval Magazine National Memorial was dedicated to the lives lost in the disaster.

      1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
      1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
      1 teaspoon salt
      1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
      1/2 teaspoon ground mace
      1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
      1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
      1 cup butter, softened
      1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
      1 cup white sugar
      2 eggs
      1 tablespoon milk
      1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
      1 cup cornflakes cereal, crumbled

      DIRECTIONS
      Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, and cloves; set aside.
      In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in milk and vanilla. Gradually mix in the sifted ingredients until well blended. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the cornflakes, oats, coconut, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, and place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets; flatten slightly.
      Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. I found that slightly under baking these yields wonderfully chewy cookies!

      • charro says:

        Damnit I should have come here first. I had microwave pizza for dinner. Can I have a s’mores or five?

        • Justacarolinian says:

          Every now and then, you just HAVE to have about 10-12 of those 89 cent microwave pizzas. I usually roll them like a burrito and burn my tongue on the hot cheese squirting out of both ends. Mmmmmm, takes you back to childhood.

          • charro says:

            Wow I don’t think I’ve ever had 12 of those things. I like the Totino’s Pizza Roll things though.

              Hyperbole
              From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
              Jump to: navigation, search
              This article is about the term used in rhetoric. For the mathematical term, see Hyperbola.

              Hyperbole (pronounced /haɪˈpɜrbəliː/ hye-PER-bə-lee[1], from ancient Greek “ὑπερβολή”, meaning excess or exaggeration) is a figure of speech in which statements are exaggerated. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is rarely meant to be taken literally.

              Hyperbole is used to create emphasis. It is a literary device often used in poetry, and is frequently encountered in casual speech. It is also a visual technique in which a deliberate exaggeration of a particular part of an image is employed. An example is the exaggeration of a person’s facial feature in a political cartoon.

                Sorry, just displaying things your post wasn’t.

                • Justacarolinian says:

                  Wow, I’m impressed. I thought you were referring to yourself.

                  • Igor the Vigorous says:

                    No, I’m referring to most of humanity. Not that we aren’t useful, but there are far too many of us to be individually necessary for the survival of the planet and universe.

                    • Justacarolinian says:

                      Ahh, revenge of the troll team, part 2.

                      • Igor the Vigorous says:

                        Yeah, because that was referring specifically to you.
                        Calling me a troll when you pasted from wikipedia to prove a point? Get your fvcking head on straight and learn what a troll is. Just because you disagree, I don’t call you a troll. Just a moron.

              • charro says:

                Douchebag, or simply douche, is considered to be a pejorative term in North America. In other English speaking countries the term is not well known. The slang usage of the term dates back to the 1960s.[6] The term implies a variety of negative qualities, specifically arrogance and engaging in obnoxious and/or irritating actions without malicious intent.

                You forgot to preface your little speech with a definition of yourself.

                • Justacarolinian says:

                  It wasn’t a speech, but rather a joke. Since you are the one attempting to be irritating here, maybe your term would be a reference to yourself? It certainly seems to fit your attitude.

                  • charro says:

                    Ah, back to the “I know you are but what am I” defense.

                    • Justacarolinian says:

                      Not at all, but in your case, it fits. It just makes your day to troll PK looking for me and try to insult me. But don’t worry, I enjoy it. As long as you troll hate on me, you are not bothering people who can’t take it.

                      • Igor the Vigorous says:

                        People who disagree =/= trolls.
                        People who need to copy from Wikipedia instead of just saying “Oh, I was using hyperbole”= deliberately obnoxiously obtuse.
                        Don’t call someone a troll if you don’t know what it means.

                      • charro says:

                        You’re adorable Justa.

                        As I recall, you were the one responding to me; but if it makes you feel better to think I’m trolling for you, go for it.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          I just made a pizza joke. The wonder troll team had to get nasty about it.

                        • charro says:

                          Wonder Troll Team Powers, activate!

                        • Igor the Vigorous says:

                          KONSPIRACY!!!
                          F*ck you.

                          Note- Justacarolinian has been ignored from this thread. From now on, Tyler/Igor shall no longer see Justa’s posts, as he has been deemed an idiot who needs to demonize those who disagree with him as trolls.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          Ohh, such language. I am so afraid. But since Tyler/Ignoramus is ignoring me, I can tell a joke without getting attacked. As far as demonizing, you need to look in the mirror Troll.

                        • eddiepscetti says:

                          I believe the problem here is the intent of your joke wasn’t clearly defined. It reads as if you literally eat 10-12 of the mini pizzas. So, to further elucidate, while you proceeded to go on a troll naming excercise, Charro was simply stating that she has never had that many in one sitting without indicating any sense of disbelief. However, you responded with a needless definition, when in fact it would have clarified your intent had you just said, “Sorry, that was hyperbole.”
                          -
                          It looks to me like you were trying to play yourself off as a vicitim when in fact, you are your own worst enemy.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          Eddie, I’m not a victim in any way. I would have to let them bother me for that to happen. The name calling starts as soon as those 2 see me anywhere here on PK. If my humor wasn’t that funny, ok. But those 2 are just nasty to me at every chance. Not that it bothers me, just explaining it to you.
                          By the way, I was going for that way to much information spin on the joke, and I missed. It’s not like I’m the first to bomb a joke on PK, GASP, No REALLY!

                        • Igor the Vigorous says:

                          Okay, just to clarify- Justa, I’ve spoken to you on the site once before this on the gay marriage discussion. That was because I was debating the issue in general.
                          So I don’t think that constitutes a conspiracy.

                        • charro says:

                          Yes, Justa. Every time I see you I call you names. As demonstrated by my innocuous replies to your eating microwave pizzas and comments about Ice Road Truckers and Deadliest Catch.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          I did notice that, and thought maybe things were going in different directions, then it just seemed the exception to prove the rule.
                          By the way, the site has eaten several of my responses, I think because I put a link in them. It was to another LOL I thought I would share with you.

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          No one called you a name until you decided to be snotty with your hyperbole post, which to be honest was random, weird, and as Tyler pointed out, unnecessary.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          Sorry Jane, it wasn’t meant to be snotty, but rather a play on the Hyperbole thing, once again, stretching it too far with tooooooo much information. Do I have to go in the naughty corner for bombing a joke?

                        • Igor the Vigorous says:

                          You do not ask the questions about corners.
                          THE KGB ASKS THE QUESTIONS AND DECIDES YOUR CORNER!
                          :P

                        • charro says:

                          You have to go in the corner with the dunce cap. We’ve all been through it at one time or another.

                          And if you want to post a link, put it in the little box under your e-mail address that says “website”. Then it will hyperlink your name and we can click it that way. :-)

                        • charro says:

                          Or you can do like this: {www.icanhascheezburger.com/justasfunnylol} and we can copy/paste.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          I did put it in the box for the website, but alas, PK ate it about 5 times.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          Once again, it eats comments as long as I have a link in the box. Let’s try it this way.
                          {http://cheezburger.com/view.aspx?ciid=4735256}

                          Oh, yes. Leave it to the Lefto to mention the KGB. *ducks*

                        • charro says:

                          Maybe PK is displaying dislike for Firefox.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          I was beginning to think so too. I was also going to ask if keeping up with replies was easier in IE. Seems Firefox zooms me back to the top most of the time. It takes moods of doing that.

                        • charro says:

                          Yay Socialism! Boo Nazis!

                        • charro says:

                          I use Google Chrome myself. Sometimes I have to do some scrolling too. C’est la vie.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          You know Charro, I’m not against many of the ideals of people helping each other, even with the power of government. I’m just against the national government doing it. That keeps it so there are alternatives for when it doesn’t work.
                          I’m not fond of National Socialists, see. No Nazi’s.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          I have Android on my cell phone, and it’s supposed to be very close to Chrome, but I haven’t tried it. Would it be too much for the makers of PK to make you zip to your comment when you click the link you get emailed? It works on other sites.

                        • charro says:

                          Hmmm I don’t have it email me, for fear my email box would be for too clogged with “Someone replied after you on Pundit Kitchen!” I just hang around randomly and look at things. So I don’t know if it works that way on Google Chrome. I think it wouldn’t because of the nesting.

                          I don’t necessarily think Socialism should be forced on anyone; I think the country could definitely benefit from some more Socialist policies. I think people, in general, could all benefit from thinking more Socialist but we all know you can’t just change the way people think by presenting rational arguments. People have to change the way they think themselves and rational arguments help; but I don’t kid myself thinking I can change the way people think by presenting rational arguments for it. Too many people equate Socialism with evil; think it’s the same as Communism, which is also evil and are under the impression that both of those political theories want to steal from them.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          Oh yeah, it WILL blow your email up. Like that MOAB in a pepsi full of mentos.
                          An honest, non snipey question. And you may have an answer, I don’t know. Where in history has socialism not turned into Communism or where the national government rules people, instead of Government of, by, and for the people?

                        • eddiepscetti says:

                          I get that all the time. Try clearing your cache, and see if that doesn’t help. Also, you can also do a reload and that sometimes temporarily fixes the the problem.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          I have Firefox set to clear the cache every time I close it. It seems to be random. But then again, *sigh* I thought buying a laptop with Vista on it would help me be ahead of the pack. That bomb was almost as bad as earlier joke. My PC died, and I figured I would move up to a laptop, and hey, beat the pack and not have to buy Vista later. And you ALL know how well that worked.

                        • charro says:

                          I don’t think it ever has. I also don’t know, necessarily, if a government has instituted a regime under the guise of “Socialism” when it was really something else.

                          I don’t think that society in general is able to be socialist. Or communist. I also don’t think politicians are able to be truly socialist, or communist, without making it a grab all for power and riches. I think people, as a whole, are too selfish and corrupt. “Look out for number one!” seems to me the general feeling among human beings.

                          These are the reasons I don’t think it should be forced on anyone, if it’s forced, it does turn into theft. But the idea of socialism, or communism, is just an idea. An idea can’t steal from people, only other people can do that.

                        • eddiepscetti says:

                          The wife’s laptop has Vista and she had nothing but problems with IE, so she switched to Firefox. OTOH, I use XP and IE8 and never have any serious problems. In fact, I can’t remember the last time my computers crashed..

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          Hmmm, we have already *disagreed* about the National Socialists being, uh, socialists. And that is where we do agree, when it becomes a national level, there is always a power grab. Not that the “Jesus for president to bring in the 1000 year reign” crowd isn’t just as bad. Seems people just don’t get the original idea of individual liberty. Limited federal government, individual freedom. Just don’t harm others, or interfere with their freedom.

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          I never crash, but some sites just seem to hate Firefox, but that also might have something to do with adblocker. (LOVE THAT)
                          Vista works great in may ways, but it killed using some of my favorite programs. And now I have been using Vista for so long, all the people who call me for help with their PCs get confused, because I don’t remember where everything is at in XP.

                        • charro says:

                          Jesus is running for president?! If he wins does that mean we have to all stop masturbating?!

                          And I am all for not interfering in other people’s freedoms. I am free to wish that people could be more socialist, but I am not for forcing it on people. It’s just not how we have evolved. I still think this country could benefit from some more socialist policies. But I can’t say I’m super comfortable with the federal government owning the banks and the corporations. I don’t think they’re non-corrupt enough to not screw it up. Here’s hoping *raises champagne glass*

                          @Justa: Not unless you want to go in the naughty corner. ;)

                          I’ll have to attend to you later though. My homework break has lasted long enough and I have to get back to it. *grumble grumble pout*

                        • Justacarolinian says:

                          Sadly Charro, there are some who think he is. Have you ever looked up the flak with the start of the National Bank and all that scandal? Andrew Jackson got it from both sides for that. (I did a report on him in the 5th grade) [I also drive past his original homestead often on my route]
                          Anyways, time for the ole Carolinian to head off to bed. Since I can choose the naught corner or not, I guess I will choose the warm comfy bed with my lovely wife in it.

        • Juda says:

          I just mean that she’s kind of a dated joke is all. It just seems kind of pointless to even talk about her at this point. There are much more interesting subjects out there than rehashing what a failure at being a politician she is (epic though that may be). Anyone who listens to news radio would know there are hilariously more absurd things in the news right now than anything Palin has done or is currently doing (which is remarkably little…).

            I agree that the jokes about Palin are very tired indeed. I only sincerely wondered what the “relevant” was supposed to be relevant to. :)

          I get that yikes was trying to compare the two, and say that she’s sexy. But honestly, I don’t find Michelle, Carla or Sarah that sexy.

          You still alive down there?

          • froofrou says:

            Oh, *slaps forehead* Misread. sorry!! I don’t find Sarah sexy, but she is very good looking to me. Michelle has her days, but she does have her off days too (and I mean REALLY off……the camera doesn’t alway like that poor woman). Carla, OTOH…….well, I wouldn’t throw her out of bed for eating crackers….

                Actually, one of the side effects of dating Carla is somnthrustulism, which is more commonly known as “sleep-humping”. You’ll be fine, Steve.

            • Lefty says:

              No problem, froo. It’s Friday. Our brains “has a tiredz”. (Did I really just type that? *sigh*)

              I agree with you on most of those. I don’t find Sarah to be sexy, but she’s the very “good-looking”. In Michelle’s case, her cheekbones are a gift and a curse. Depending on how the light hits them they can look great or just plain odd. Something about Carla though is a little disturbing to me. I don’t know what it is. I think it’s that her eyes almost always seem vacant or something.

      • viking gal says:

        Disagreed. Not all Democrats (I’m one) think that all Republicans are dumb. After all, Massachusetts has had a few Republican governors, and we’re a pretty solid-blue state. I voted for Weld (Silber was scary!), and I respect Orin Hatch, even if I don’t agree with him very often. Just for two…

Look what happened to Micheal Steel when he had the audacity to criticize Rush Limbaugh, or any other conservative who veers even slightly from the party line. You think Conservatives are tolerant?

          • lowly grunt says:

            I think “journaminimalsim” pretty well defines what we got going today, especially on the networks.

            For me, the Vietnam war is the sound of Walter Kronkite saying words like “Tet Offensive”, “Phnom Phen”, “Ho Chi Minh Trail”, “Cambodia” et al. LBJ was said to have lamented that if he lost Walter’s support for the war, he lost the war. What would it be like to have a journalist who is that trusted again?

            sorry….. it’s getting late

            • HairySexyTroll says:

              Agreed. I was just a kid, and I lost my dad there, so it was comforting to have his soothing voice telling me it was not in vain.

              Wow. That’s deep regarding LBJ, and I appreciate you sharing the info. It is late, and I’m a bit in my cups this Friday evening, but I can’t tell you what it means to me to have someone else who understands the significance of Walter Conkrite within our culture. Polititical idiology be damned, Walter was the man.

              • lowly grunt says:

                Oh, wow. I’m sorry to hear that HST. My father fell in between the ages for WW2 and Vietnam. Too young for the former, too young for the latter. I’ve always felt selfish for being very glad about that.

                I remember his voice every evening when Mom was making dinner and Dad was getting home from work. We’d be running around the house and his voice was in the background, like soundtrack music. And I’m ashamed I misspelled his name.

                I’ve often wondered what he thinks about being used shamelessly by CBS to give Katie gravitas. Pfft.

                  I misspelled his name, too. Everyone: It’s Walter Cronkite. And he epotimized class and journalistic integrity. Dan Rather and Katie Couric can kiss my finey shiny hiney. I can’t even bear to witness the posers, after watching that man in this video.

    Yay. More lolz making fun of Sarah Palin. I’m astounded by the creativity and innovation you display.

  38. Josh says:

    I dunno, fail on this one. As an Alaskan I’m offended by this- not all of us condone that woman.

    OMG – did you see the ad on the right side of the page?

    On July 19, 2009, At 11:15am Central Daylight Time the ad on the right edge of the page, just a little higher than this Sarah Palin picture was a link to the Official “Support Sarah Palin” website.

    It looks like they honestly expect us to send our $$ to Sarah Palin to support her political career.

    The site is so serious its almost funny.

    • Igor the Vigorous says:

      Yeah. I know.
      I want Palin off my page.
      Along with Coulter, at the bottom of the page. However, I think those links are designed to get some of the idiot trolls off the site. Only half though. ;)

      • TwiLyght says:

        Yeah, almost as funny as the people who actually expect us to support Obama’s idiotic “stimulus” policies.

  43. Reese says:

    Dude, I STILL don’t get why so many people voted for Obama considering all the stimulus money they’re throwing down the drain. They used up the billions of dollars of the first stimulus package on God-knows-what and landed us in another huge financial problem and now they’re doing it AGAIN. So yeah, I would much rather have had Palin be president. Or McCain, considering he actually ran for it…

  44. AK™ says:

    At least my state’s economy isn’t in the toilet like Californias..

    My governor is hotter than your governor. :P

  45. SAS says:

    Nice try, Jersey. We’re still watching what’s going on down there… for now, at least.

  46. Darling Jars Won says:

    I bet that not a lot of people here have actually BEEN to Alaska, or have a good reason they agree with this stupid picture besides the fact that “they just don’t like Sarah Palin.” becasue they can’t be bothered to actaully think for themselves. Alaska is a good state with lots of great people, a good economy (given the state a lot of others are in), and Sarah Palin is actually a pretty nice woman. I’ve met her. Just because you think it’s a state full of rednecks (which it’s not), and Mrs. Palin’s a scary lady, (which she’s not), that doesn’t mean you’re right, it just means you’re a dumbass.

  47. jeremy says:

    hmm… this caption seemed a bit prickish to me.

  48. Jasmine says:

    *Is Alaskan* Really…? Seriously…? Okay, you know what, screw it. It’s late, I’m sick, and I feel irrational, so: I’M GLAD WE’RE SO FAR AWAY FROM YOU, AS WELL, YOU- you… jerks!

    God, I’m tired…

  49. Nicole says:

    Ouch. You know, many of us Alaskans aren’t that proud of her either…& it sucks being so far away from everyone else. We’re like, 10 years behind in fashion. :(
    We do have really cool fur-lined boots, though. lol
