Get a new friend.

[Miss Marple]

Get a new golfing partner.

Admittingly done by Regan to beat Carter in the presidental elections...

He's a moron. Delete the email and forget it. Never argue with an idiot.

[Cincinatus]

This swill isn't worth the time or effort needed to respond to it logically because there's no argument in it -- it's just a tirade. And a logical argument in response to it would fall on deaf ears.

Find a new golfing buddy. Or take up tennis.

[exnavy]

Find a new golf partner, those who lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

[Wagonmaster]

Don't waste my time or yours.

"Get a new friend."

I concur.

[Between the Lines]

Cast not your pearls before swine.

[Ben Bolt]

Damn it man .. Do you really have to ask ? Look . You have 2 ledgers . 1 is red and the other is black . realign your assets into the plus column .

The power of association is often times undervalued .

Blow Job Bill.

Only insightful comment of the email.

[Michael.SF.]

Read your bio. You seem intelligent, so why are you hanging with this guy? He is a maroon.

I am guessing that he is what I call a "Castanza", as in george Castanza. The kind of guy that you have known for years, probably since childhood. You have known him for so long, you forgive him for being a total idiot.

No amount of explaining will suffice to correct his misthinking.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Next time you're around him tell him you have something to share. Turn your back to him, bow, then POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

[NJJ]

It sounds a lot like, "I have a friend that has this problem . . ."

[w_over_w]

Your friend is bi-polar . . . I would recommend he get a full ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) followed by a pharmacotherapy regimen of Prozac and a powerful biterminal drug.

This, of course, will have a dramatic effect on his golf swing but in the long run it's the best course of action.

FWIW, I am not a doctor but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

Don't try to teach a pig to sing. You won't succeed and it annoys the pig.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Golf is demanding enough without having to listen to this kind of crap while you do it.

[awgie2]

I have mixed feelings about "educating" him. He gets himself all worked up on the way to the golf course talking about Republicans ruining the world...it takes him 5 or 6 holes to get calmed down and hit the ball straight. I win every time!

[mrbillxx]

I have a similar friend. When he begins to speak on politics, I close my ears or listen to someone else. He would go out of his way to help my family and me if they were in need, but he is a close-minded idiot when it comes to politics and the real world.

He's a public school teacher.

[ctlpdad]

This guy should take some damn spelling lessons before trying such complex matter as the American economy and world affairs.

[clintonh8r]

Tell your friend to get a spelling tutor. And tell him that he isn't really inerested in peace unless he volunteers for Saddam's Glorious Human Shield Brigade.
