So my grandma is 78 and has always voted Democratic since the day she was able to vote, but now that may change. She will not vote Republican, but she is seriously considering not voting for the first time ever in her life. This simple reason, She is a white Democrate and Obama is black. It's really quite sad to see someone to base their opinion solely on someone's skin color to the point that they will not vote because they simply don't like black people. My grandma is what I would call a closet racist. She has never said anything rascist or even along the lines of letting someone know she is. Deep down inside I know what her beliefs and views are on race though, and although that is her business alone, I can't help but be a little let down.

So how many of you have similar people in your families of a certain age who are Democratic and might not be voting this year?

So I have a 5 year old boy who is just totally awesome and I love him to death. One night about 3 nights ago my wife was out in the living room watching a movie with our son. I later decided to go get something to eat and as I went out there I noticed our son was still awake watching tv. I realized it was late and that my wife had fell asleep in another room in our house, so I made our son brush his teeth and then tucked him into bed. As I walked back by the tv I saw major T&A all over the screen, you know, the Skinamax type T&A. I was like, OH SHIT! My son had been watching this for I don't know how long because my wife left him there by himself without changing the channel before she dozed off. She knows damn well what is on those premium channels every late night, and it kind of pissed me off that she left it on for him to just sit down and stare at.

Just venting sort of, since she doesn't really do well with others telling her things that maybe she should think about.

I finally saw one of my videos on the Top Rated Media list! You know, the list on the lower right hand side of everyone's screen when they are viewing any video. I had a great rating of 5 stars with 3 voters and the views were going up and up. I come back about 10 minutes later and WTF! My video is already gone! This can mean only one thing... Some asshat decided to rate my media a 1 Star. I thought to myself, now why would someone rate this video that everyone else seems to enjoy with 1 star... I then proceeded to view the current Top Rated Media list and to my surprise There are users with multiple videos in the Top Rated Media list. My only conclusion to this is that certain users down rate other people's media for the sole purpose of getting their own media onto the Top Rated Media list. This is really too bad because I can only imagine all of the quality videos that are being thrown back into the heaping pile of shit void of random user uploaded videos.

What this "asshat" or these "asshats" don't realize is that they are most likely not the only ones down rating media for their own personal gain. So just as fast as they knock someone elses video off, someone will surely come along and do the same to theirs.  Maybe that's why most videos which get featured have been uploaded weeks if not months ago. I really don't think the website admin picks features from the Top Rated Media list, but I could be wrong.

So in review of how to get your media on the Top Rated list a.s.a.p. :

Simple, just down rate the current media on the list until yours gets on the list! Enjoy your videos 15 minutes of fame (in my case less than 10)!
