I suspected as much.  I must say I admire your deft handling of the
language, Tony.  "Parody" describes the message properly, I believe.  "Hoax"
may indeed be a bit strong.  Frankly, I think the timing and "wittiness" of
the alleged author are somewhat lacking.  Must be my frame of mind these
days - I do not see humour as often, nor in as many places as I did once.

I think it was mean to be a ... "parody" (there is a more appropriate word, 
I'm sure.)  The byline of Thomas L. Friedman indicates the actual 
authorship, I am supposing.
