Um, uh…huh?

Adirondack Patriot sent us this photo last night with this narrative from the Navy;

President Barack Obama, with the Navy’s F/A-18 Green Hornet, announces today addition measures to boost domestic energy production for the Nation to include strategic efforts by Department of Defense to enhance energy security. The Green Hornet is part of the Navy’s biofuel fuel program to develop alternative fuel sources to reach the Secretary of the Navy’s energy reform targets.

VX-23 will be testing the full envelope of the Super Hornet with a drop in replacement biofuel made from the camelina plant in an effort to certify alternative fuels for naval aviation use. (U.S. Navy photos by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Kevin S. O’Brien/Released)

Does the logo on the nose of the F/A 18 Super Hornet look like anything you’ve seen before.

There’s much more at Mudville Gazette. Adirondack Patriot writes my thoughts before I had them;

This appears to be just another boutiquey DOD project that contributes nothing to our national defense capability. Nevertheless, it’s another military prop and Obama’s there. No need to beat a dead horse — just another example of his never ending stagecraft nonsense.

Putting that “Energy Security” label on every piece of military equipment would drive the hippies wild, though. It would justify their “war for oil” signs.

Never seen anything like it before, Jonn. Then again, I’m just waiting for the boats to replace the regular diesel fuel (yes, nukes have a diesel too) with biodiesel or some crap like that.

bman

I am concerned that our Commander in Chief is like a Hollywood celebrity.

Susan

bman – what was your first clue? That he can’t speak without TOTUS? That he is good at reading lines other people wrote, but has no true understanding of the material?

Claymore

I heard they’re working on a “peace tank” that’s pink and purple camo (San Francisco urban pattern), fires 120mm marshmallows of love and runs on unicorn farts…true story.

Old Tanker

Claymore,

I’d be willing to test the fjording capabilities of that tank….across the Pacific…..as long as I have an escape hatch….and can fire the Ma duece with .50 cal cocoa-puffs….

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Obama refuse to appear at a speech in front of a F22 Raptor (or some other aircraft)? So, he’ll only appear in front of a “green” fighter with his personal campaign symbol (or a very, very close copy) emblazoned on it. Gee, I wonder what the message is. Yikes!

Joe

Must be a slow newsday in TAH land. Got anything more trivial to comment on?

nucsnipe

Joe: We could have a “Your president is so dumb” contest.
I’ll start- Your president is so dumb he pronounces Corpman Corpseman.

dutch508

Yeah, I’ve got something more trivial. Seem the only charged memebr of the ‘right-wing anti-government militia’ group in Michigan is a registered Democrat…

Ooops…

Jonn,

Same here. I have some material to review before my Lodge meeting, and then a report for the TriLateral commission on incorporating FreeMasonry as a 4th branch of government.

B Woodman

And yet how crazy did the Leftist Libtards and the MSM go when Bush II landed on the aircraft carrier & declare that the Iraq war was won?

And now Obeyme does this? And what do we hear? Listen closely (chirp. .chirp . chirp . )

Joe

Maybe just a little bitty difference in context, B Woodman.

NHSparky

Joe, while you’re at it, define the word “context”, particularly as it applies to one political party and not the other. Oh, shit, that’s right–that’s called HYPOCRISY. Something that must not be sinking into your brain because you’re preoccupied with Cheetos, anime pron, and fapping a permanent orange stain into your junk.

NHSparky

Oh, and Jonn, don’t forget the other quarterly reports that were supposed to go out to the VRWC regional leaders, Lord Rove, and the Illuminati.

Adirondack Patriot

Actually, the news is that there are thousands of Marines in Afghanistan and thousands of soldiers and sailors in Iraq and the Arabian Gulf, and yet the Annointed One chooses to tell us about jet fighters fueled by Crisco and Wesson.

He could have called Florence Henderson to peddle his little science project. After all, can you imagine being the pilot of a Green Hornet when the threat alarms start going off and all you have is the power of vegetable oil to get you out of the shit?

You’re right, Joe. The story is boring, and yet the Commander in Chief went to Maryland to sell this boring story.

So, who’s having the slow news day, TAH or Obama?

Yeah, that’s right, Buckwheat. It’s Obama.

OldCavLt

Has anyone cosidered the AA ramifications? They can design missles to home into the smell of french fries.

boutiquey = bo teh gey?

Dis is ghey… The new “green” tungsten M16 round is f*cked-up in it’s stopping power because of being too fragile (unlike eco-unfriendly lead) but we’ll have engine-stalling, biodegradable rots-in-the-storage-tank “bio” F/A-18 fuel ’cause it’s “good for the planet” or something.

Ray

“Request Flyby”

“Negative Cornrider, the pattern is full and it’s 45 minutes to lunch. The smell will distract the Flight Deck crew.”

Smorgasbord

If you all remember, THAT plane was put there after the one that was already there was moved at Obama’s orders. Now I know why.

What’s next, a new United Nations logo?

Gotta love Photoshop.

UpNorth

Yeah, bio jet fuel will work great, unless said fighters have to fly in cold air, where it’ll freeze in the fuel tanks. Oh well, it’ll give SAR a chance to improve their skills. But Joey will be happy because it’s “green”.
As for anything more trivial to comment on? Joey’s back. How’s that for trivial?
