On Any Top Ten List of ‘Really Bad Ideas for Blog Post Titles’ . .

 . . . I’d say “Dan Riehl Sucks“ has got to be at least No. 3. And when you call Dan a “Little Green Footballs wannabe” . . . Dude.

John Doe at Smashmouth Politics objected to Dan’s criticism of Glenn Beck.

Hey, it’s a free country, and people disagree.  But having worked with Dan on a few projects, I know that I would never want him as an enemy. Trust me.

You could probably write a post titled “Glenn Reynolds Is a Total Douchebag” and the worst that would happen is you’d never get linked at Instapundit, ever again — which is the kind of nightmare vision that sometimes makes me wake up at 3 a.m. screaming in a cold sweat.

If you think there is no worse fate in the world than that, however, you don’t know Dan Riehl. He’s from New Jersey. IYKWIMAITYD.

(For the record, I know total douchebags. Some of my best friends are total douchebags. And Glenn Reynolds is not a total douchebag.)

UPDATE: Instalanche, to which we are partial.

UPDATE II: Speaking of Glenn Beck, his portrayal of Dutch leader Geert Wilders has angered many conservatives.
