In France, the President is selected by the Templars.

Then to choose a Prime Minister he paints his face with the blood of a Poulet de Bresse and invokes the god Teutates while testing the urine of Lance Armstrong with a strip of L'EQUIPE previously soaked in Fernet-Branca.

If it turns blue, he then selects the politician with the most "L"s in his name, as long as he he isn't birn in a month with an "R" in it.

If it turns fuschia, he selects Jean-Paul Gauthier. So far, that hasn't happened.
