I think so. The last paragraph, in which he rakes Obama over the coals for
not yet fixing health care, the long-term energy situation and putting a man
on Mars , is a dead giveaway.

That's what it looks like to me; it is especially a reaction
to the Journal article.

Okay, I'll retract my last post in response to Mark's OP. After
reading's Kaye's editorial, it is SO apparent that he is writing with
conviction and that he believes what he writes.

Knowing Kaye Thomas, he could very well be following a Harvard

tradition. I believe they call it "lampooning" up there in Hahvad Yahd!

The Fairmark site is occasionally referenced here, I found myself just
yesterday referencing an older article from there to help a tax client
-- it's very useful!

Yesterday (3/6) the site's owner Mr. Thomas posted a short top story
("one of his rare opinion pieces") about the President and the stock
market, among other things. I think it's tongue in cheek (or at least
strongly ironic or sarcastic), but could find no postings in the
discussion boards there to this effect.

Am I missing his point? Or is it just a clever and maybe a touch
too-subtle antidote to the mass media commentary I see or read all too
frequently these days?

ps. I will probably get around to registering there (if it's free) and
see if the site's own discussion boards don't provide an answer.
