With the dollar on an absolute rampage, I ask again: does the Fed need to tighten...

Hold it!  The Fed has nothing to do w/ exchange rates.  The Fed is concerned with inflation. Inflation and exchange rates are unrelated, they have virtually nothing to do with each other.

Directly that is true. But if the dollar is strengthening it could cause (or be caused by) greater demand for dollars which is related to in/de-flation.tighten in a time of great demand for dollars and you cause deflation or at best disinflation.
