The Best Part
Jingo, by Terry Pratchett
Jabbar gave him an appraising look. The sniggering stopped. "Then it is true that you can see further than most," he said. "So can this food," said Vimes. "My father told me never to eat anything that can wink back." There was one of those little hanging-by-a-thread moments, which might suddenly rock one way or the other into a gale of laughter or sudden death. Then Jabbar slapped Vimes on the back. The eyeball shot off his palm and into the shadows. "Well done! Extremely good2 first time it have not worked in twenty year! Now sit down and have proper rice and sheep just like mother!"

If Obama ever forsakes his cool remove and starts dishing up Glenn Beck histrionics, my last hope for the survival of rationality in politics will be gone. I'll shave my head.
I'm not a fan of the histrionics myself, but there is something to be said for taking the coolness to the other extreme. I've only heard the man riled up over politics which, unfortunately, is when he sounds the most authentic. He's got too much of a Michael Dukakis vibe going. Don't blubber like Beck, but do a bit more emoting so you don't sound like a stuffy college professor when you want to "kick someone's ass."
