Your outburst is normal and justified. Also, it's cathartic because once that's out of your system, your brain gets smart again. THAT was the true brain fart. Hot gas? Passed. And now we get down to the business of making the country better through changing what's broken.
This election, in and of itself, has changed people. Republicans are talking about easing up on the right-wing super conservative stances so that they can win another election. Even though it's just pandering now, the next generation will see the new stance and we have moved in the right direction.

I went to a local park and had lunch with a friend of mine today. It’s beautiful here, but we can tell that it’s Summer’s last attempt to hold Autumn at bay, and we’ll be suffering through the misery of sixty degree afternoons soon enough. There’s even rumor of an inch of rain before the end of ...

Dude, that's amazing! I'm just a huge fan of the whole cast/crew at Family Guy and am über impressed that you got to go play with them for a day. I look forward to the airing, and don't need to know when it'll be because I'll see it.

My heart was beating so fast when the turbolift door opened and I found myself on the bridge of the Enterprise, that I could barely hear.
It's an amazing experience, and one that every fan should enjoy before it's gone.

Gizmodo has reviewed a couple in the past couple of weeks, fyi.
A year ago, I bought and am in love with the Canon Powershot SD800is. It is a point and shoot pocket camera, but it also blew my camcorder out of the water in recording ability. I picked up an 8GB SDHC card so I could record up to an hour of video, and it's all solid-state. It's our primary video camera now, and conveniently our "party" camera too.
They make an upgraded SD890is for $400 too.

Oh dude... I will never forget how amazing it felt to have those things pulled out. I was 16 or so, and didn't even know they were in there, and didn't think to ask. So awesome.

I think you're underestimating your audience. If Canadians want a book shipped internationally, they'll totally pony up the money for it. You shouldn't take a pay cut for it.
Likewise with any and all costs (signed books, etc)... I know how good-hearted you are, but this is business, and if it is going to cost $50 to get a signed hard book and for you to make the proper percentage on it, then that's what it costs. Charge that much and see what happens.
I'm looking forward to reading this book, and I really don't care if it costs $19.95 or $25.00. I'd pay extra for you to feel good about it.
