I bet that was the question you were asking yourself when you woke up today, right after you found your shoes and that missing pair of black socks.
Well, have no fear, the real funny staff has done some investigating and guess what we found…young EG, kickin’ it in Cuba with his dad [story]. Elian enjoys long walks on the beach, ice cream with his cousins and the occasional meeting of the young communist union, of which he is now a member.
Remember, the whole “Elian Gonzalez” debacle?
To refresh your recollection, Elian’s mother died when they tried to make the voyage from Cuba to Miami, his dad wanted him back in Cuba but his American relatives thought they were so bad assed that they could just hide him in a fake brick wall until he was 18 to keep him in the U.S. (Okay, so I made that last part up). But if you recall, his relatives wouldn’t answer the door when the SWAT agents came to get Elian and they tried to hide him in a closet. Because after looking in the stove, pantry cabinets and the washing machine, no SWAT agent in his right mind would think to look in the closet.
Oh, how we love an international crisis, right? It was almost as exciting as some of our domestic thrills like the O.J. bronco police chase, although not quite rising to the level of the Waco stand off.
Good luck to you Elian Gonazalez, we hope you visit us again, very soon!
