Top Ten Prince Songs for The Voice Medley After Super Bowl

With The Voice getting set to do a Prince Medley after the Super Bowl, with Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green as well as Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton, all of whom are on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, I picked my favorite Prince songs, almost all of which are Prince and the Revolution songs, however a New Power Generation song or two sneaks in there as well, with the hope that these would be the ones chosen to sing.  Adam said on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon that Prince "never clears anything," and so they are honored and will do Prince proud on the medley.  Here are the Top Ten Prince Songs according to YoooHaaa.com and the YoooHaaa Blog.

1 PURPLE RAIN - Better if you get it live
2-I WOULD DIE FOR YOU - Amazing on film and on record
3-KISS-everybody will dance without provocation
4-LETS GO CRAZY - catchiest song
5-DARLING NIKKI - on the weird side but a masterpiece
6-LITTLE RED CORVETTE - lyrically filled with easter eggs and double meanings
7-RASBERRY BERET - Most top 40 friendly Prince song ever.
8-WHEN DOVES CRY - This song could be remade in so many ways ..I keep waiting
9-1999 - Don't worry ...I won't hurt you
10-GETT OFF - Just as funky as it gets
11-HONORABLE MENTION...BAT DANCE    Nobody else but me liked this one I suppose...the samples from the movie were great.

Legalizing Marijuana - Seem Right For Now

"We want the world and we want it ...NOW !"  Jim Morrison

I have this feeling that there will be conversations like the ones I used to have with my grandparents about prohibition. Someday our grand kids will say, "you mean you could drink all of that you wanted, and smoke all of those you wanted, but if you wanted to smoke THAT it was illegal ?" "Yep...that was the law...and most people didn't understand the hypocrisy." If you legalize it, you unfortunately have quite a few new addicts overnight. But, I think you also, overnight, take all the power away from drug kingpins in other countries who are corrupt murderers. It's not a harmless drug, but most would agree more harm comes from legal alcohol. Seems the benefits of allowing personal choice in this matter.  outweigh the negatives.  I wonder if Pot will be legal, or even decriminalized in my home state ever.  Time will tell.  President Obama consistently says he does not think advocating legalization of cannabis is right at this time.

Congressional Stupidity through the eyes of a Travel Agent ?

Here are some observations about the politicians who run our country. They are from a Washington, D.C.travel agent with 30 years experience. Should we be worried?

I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window.

I got a call from a Candidate's Staffer, who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information then she interrupted me with, "I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts." Without trying to make her look like the stupid one, I calmly explained, "Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa." Her response ... (click).

A Vermont Congressman called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that is not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, "Don't lie to me. I looked on the map, and Florida is a very thin state!!!"

I got a call from a Lawmakers Wife from Mississippi who asked, "Is it possible to see England from Canada?" I said, "No." She said, "But they look so close on the map."

An Illinois Congresswoman called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:20am and got into Chicago at 8:33am. I tried to explain that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she could not understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went very fast, and she bought that!

An Alabama lawmaker called and asked, "Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to who?" I said, "No, why do you ask?" She replied, "Well, when I checked in, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that is very rude." After putting her on hold for a minute while I "looked into it" (I actually was laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno, CA is (FAT), and that the airline was just putting a destination tag on her luggage.

A Senator's Aide called in inquiring about a trip package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost info, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii?"

I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman who asked, "How do I know which plane to get on?" I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, "I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these darn planes have numbers on them

A Senator called and said, "I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola, FL. Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?" I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola, FL on a commuter plane. She said, "Yeah, whatever!!"

A Senior Senator called and had a question about the documents he needed in order to fly to China. After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded him he needed a visa. "Oh no I don't, I've been to China several times and never had to have one of those." I double checked and sure enough, his stay required a visa. When I told him this he said, "Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!"

A New Mexico Congresswoman called to make reservations, "I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York" The agent was at a loss for words. Finally, the agent: "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" "Yes, what flights do you have?" replied the lady. After some searching, the agent came back with, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a Rhino anywhere." The lady retorted, "Oh don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!" The agent scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, "You don't mean Buffalo, do you?" "That's it! I knew it was a big animal", she admitted

But what happens to your trade-in once you ship it to Gazelle, ReCellular, NextWorth, Amazon Trade-In, or any of the other recommerce sites out there?
First, cell phones are inspected for wear and tear and to see whether they still work. Damaged phones are assessed for salvageability.
All phones then go through a memory wipe. Each trade-in company said it wipes memory in two steps to ensure data is erased from the phone. If the phone doesn't work, the companies will physically destroy its memory.

BUFFET BUILDS TAX THE RICH CASE
http://finance.yahoo.com/banking-budgeting/article/113663/buffett-builds-tax-rich-case-wsj?mod=bb-budgeting&sec=topStories&pos=3&asset=&ccode=

Mr. Buffett long has urged lawmakers to raise income-tax rates on the wealthiest, arguing that his secretary paid a higher effective rate than he did last year. President Obama embraced the concept, and went along with Senate Democrats' proposal for a 5.6% surtax on those making $1 million a year or more.
Mr. Buffett's adjusted gross income was $62,855,038 in 2010, according to the letter, while his taxable income was $39,814,784. He said he paid $15,300 in payroll tax, and $6,923,494 in federal income tax. That made for an effective tax rate of 17.4%.

But, if you're in the market for a car, Anwyl says, now is probably a good time to buy. The automakers are finally bringing their 2012 designs to market, after delays (again because of distributions caused by the Japan earthquake), and that means more incentives and better prices. "This month and then the next window of opportunity would be right after Christmas and all the way through the new year."

  What You Need In A Financial Survival Kit
  http://finance.yahoo.com/news/What-You-Need-In-A-Financial-investopedia-1750932932.html?x=0
  
  Financial experts such as the members of the American Institute of CPAs recommend having a personal financial kit that is easily carried in the event of an emergency. These experts suggest all original documents be kept in either a fire-proof safe in your home, or preferably, in a safety deposit box at a bank away from your residence. If a natural disaster strikes your neighborhood, it could also strike the local bank leaving you without a resource for those documents or cash. The average cost of a safe-deposit box is $30-$50 per year.
  
  If an emergency is imminent, you will want a basic kit that you can easily carry with you after a disaster. If your home is destroyed, this kit should have copies of all the basic information you'll need. This "kit" can be a sealable plastic bag, or a small plastic storage container that you can easily "grab-and-run" with. There are many documents you will need to help you recover after a disaster strikes, most should be kept in the fire-proof safe or safe deposit box. This basic kit should consist of essential documents to take care of your basic needs.
• A copy of your driver's license or state identification
• Copies of your credit cards and bank account information
• Copies of current prescriptions, including eyeglasses, and any medical histories that EMS and medical personnel would need to know - allergies, asthma, heart meds, diabetic condition, etc.
• List of your emergency contacts - family members, doctors, insurance agents, financial advisors
• Insurance cards, policy numbers and agents contact information - Life, health, homeowner, auto, renters
• Safe deposit box information - name of financial institution, list of the contents and the key
• Copies of any living wills, power of attorney or medical power of attorney
• Enough cash for living expenses for three days for your entire family
• Prepaid phone cards, cell phone charger
