J.R. Madden says he’s been working in Puerto Rico for several months:

“The other day, while reading the San Juan Star, I realized why I have felt so at home down here:

“Eighty-one doctors have been arrested for fraudulently obtaining their licenses to practice medicine from the Puerto Rican Medical Examining Board. 

“Both houses of the legislature and the governor are considering doubling their salaries while the local economy tanks.

“Motorists seem to view traffic laws as suggestions, though they do appear to have a dread aversion to use of the car horn.

“A fancy cockfighting arena is next to my hotel.”
