Late Late Night FDL: Go Granny Go
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the news that I am going to be a grandma than with a cartoon set to music. Precious Pupp and Granny Sweet set to Jan and Dean — Little Old Lady From Pasadena.

Early Morning Swim: Right-Wing Silent after Gen. Petraeus Condemns Koran Burning, Reports Keith Olbermann
Can’t wait for the glibertarian morons at Reason to call Dave Petraeus a politically correct surrender monkey.

Gen. David H. Petraeus warned on Tuesday that any video of Americans burning the Koran “would undoubtedly be used by extremists in Afghanistan — and around the world — to inflame public opinion and incite violence,” endangering the lives of American soldiers.
A State Department spokesman called Mr. Jones’s plan “un-American.” Robert Gibbs, the White House spokesman, said any activity “that puts our troops in harm’s way would be a concern to this administration.”
Several clergy members in Washington and Florida said that there were efforts to dissuade Mr. Jones from proceeding with the event, but that he appeared unlikely to relent.
The religious leaders in Washington said in their statement, “We are appalled by such disrespect for a sacred text that for centuries has shaped many of the great cultures of our world.”
Well, yes — burning Korans is deeply stupid and inflammatory. But, um, so is haphazardly invading, bombing, Predator striking, torturing, and imprisoning hundreds of thousands of people, just for the hell of it.
Just sayin’.
