European Predictions

Denis Boyles, National Review's European correspondent in Paris has grown weary of Europe, so he is going to the Midwest.

One Kafkaesque morning, as I was waking up from anxious dreams, I discovered I dreaded going to work. All I wanted to do was cheat on my perfect wife, ignore my children, stab my oldest friend in the back, and smoke a cigarette, even though I haven’t smoked for almost 20 years. My hair broke out in gel and my underwear turned into briefs - then shrunk three sizes. I realized I was slowly becoming a French person.

But as he leaves EUtopia, he has some predictions for what we should expect from the Continent this summer.
