This one is a "keeper".

But then isn't everything Steyn writes, as well?

Over 30 percent of German women are childless; among German university graduates, it's over 40 percent.

OMG! What happened to German men?

Over 30 percent of German women are childless; among German university graduates, it's over 40 percent. And for the ever-dwindling band of young Germans who make it out of the maternity ward there's precious little reason to stick around. Why be the last handsome blond lederhosen-clad Aryan lad working the late shift at the beer garden in order to prop up singlehandedly entire retirement homes? And that's before the EU decides to add the Greeks to your burdens. Germans, who retire at 67, are now expected to sustain the unsustainable 14 monthly payments per year of Greeks who retire at 58.

The future for Europe is bleak. I didn't think I'd live to see Eurabia. Now I'm not so sure. And the transition is going to be very ugly.

Think of Greece as California

I often think of it the other way around. With a bit of France tossed in, too.
