Barry — a believing Jew — reminded us that Elian was saved by "Passover."
Tonight, of course, begins the Jewish holiday of Passover, when the first sons of all Jewish families were saved because they had put the "blood of the lamb" on their doorposts.

So, Elian, also a first son, has been saved — in this case from "the Old Lady."
No doubt Reno was planning a Waco style assault to bring the boy to Pharoah Castro and to the death of his freedom.

Elian was saved, like Moses, from the sea.
For Jonah it was a whale, but Elian was saved from the sharks because dolphins and swordfish surrounded his rubber life saver,according to the boy's account and the fishermen who saved him.
Savage notes he was also rescued on Thanksgiving Day.
And of course, "Elian" in Hebrew means "Carrier of God."
