Germany

And together, they fight crime!

by Douglas Muir

A Vietnamese immigrant, brought from that war-torn country as a tiny child.

A baron, the grandson of a princess, who lives in his family’s five-hundred year old castle.

A widow who once worked for the patent office.

A paraplegic.

A huffy gay man.

A former captain of paratroopers.

A mother of seven.

They are…

…Germany’s new conservative Cabinet.

    It does seem much less professionalized and less corporate-lawyer-dominated than our own government, but does it actually matter to German politics or is it just a figurehead commission?

  7. point74 Says:

    not funny, completely pointless and perhaps a bit racist.

  8. Doug (not Muir) Says:

    MH, German governments with good costumes are considered harmful.

  9. MH Says:

    Those are more uniforms than costumes.

    “Those are more uniforms than costumes.”

    The fat WWI fighter ace was pretty good at blurring the distinction.
