The article has Puerto Rico's politicians and Tourism Board fit to be tied.
LOL!
The rum bottle in front of him almost empty, Jacobo Morales is approaching the end of a rambling stage monologue on what it means to be Puerto Rican. Earlier he had toasted "the great American nation, of which I'm proud to be a citizen." But with this most recent toast his mood has turned militantly nationalistic: "What I am is Ameri . . . Puerto Rican!" And then another turnabout. "Puerto Rican and Ameri. . . . What I am is a realist, because one thing is what I feel, another is what's convenient. What I feel is Puerto Rican first and Puerto Rican alwaysbut what about the welfare checks?" Finally, polishing off the last of the bottle, Morales makes up his mind, shouting: "Viva Puerto Rico libre!Long live free Puerto Rico!"
