Fun With German

I'm here to tell you that Google Translate, as good as it is at doing words and phrases, is an unmitigated hoot when it comes to anything more complicated.  A friend posted this article from Germany on what I assume was a lost election:

Schlecker women give men FDP existence Tips

Blessing in disguise for the FDP men standing on the street after the election defeat: you get advice from women who have undergone a similar fate excellent

Despair , bewilderment , helplessness:

Otherwise , it can not describe what the election defeat triggers to the employees of the FDP. No less than five FDP ministers now sitting on the road, they face the vocational education .

"I 'm 68 and I've ruined the liver for the company - who wants me for now ," complains a FDP employee who wishes to remain anonymous , in front of the Liberal Party headquarters . Others, it is likely to make worse : They are young , but already completely in the end.

Touching solidarity :

Unlike many German citizens , where the fate of the Liberals sincerely do not care , there are more than 11,000 of the Schlecker women who lost their jobs after the insolvency of the drugstore chain , a large solidarity with the FDP . With a number of former employees want to do the standing in front of the FDP men do nothing courage.

"We can only recommend Philipp Rösler , as soon as possible to find a connection using myself," ex - wife Heike W. Schlecker says warmly. Options give it a dime a dozen : Former Vice Chancellor could still open a separate mom and pop party , apply for or become depressed Hartz IV . "This has helped many of us in the crisis ," said the former Schlecker cashier , "Well, then, that the FDP has almost single-handedly prevented collecting societies for ourselves ."

Hope for the Liberals :

Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope for the Liberals : It is said that the FDP wants to buy up , smash and spin off to Romania a foreign investor . "And if it is not , Dirk Niebel can start in my neighborhood shop in the photo department ," promises W. Heike , " I need a development aid . "
