The Boy Is Outtahere!

At 4 pm this afternoon, expect the Gonzalez family (and by that I mean the boy and his Cuba relatives) to be on a plane to Havana.

The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way on Wednesday for shipwreck survivor Elian Gonzalez to return to Cuba, a crushing defeat for his Miami relatives in the international custody fight over the child.

The high court rejected without any comment or dissent an emergency last-ditch request by the relatives seeking to keep the 6-year-old boy in the United States and also turned down their appeal seeking a political asylum hearing for him.

Hehe. "Without any comment or dissent." Not even from Scalia and his lap-dog Thomas.
