This is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical ceremony.

I just thought it was interesting and a good tie in with legends and fair-tales, but you sir might just want to check your meds and be sure you took them all.

Yeah, that's really worked out well for us.

In the legend, King Arthur pulled it out. He was the opposite of a minion. This particular sword, however, is still stuck in the rock.

I ‘get’ Monty Python like most women ‘get’ the Three Stooges. By the way I do ‘get’ the Stooges. ;-)
