Lord Carrett - Comedy Knight Headliner 1

Lord Carrett’s comedy is like an iceberg. There’s a lot that doesn't immediately meet the eye, both in the jokes themselves, and the way he puts them together.

He's a ‘recovery artist." Lord elaborates: "There are a whole lot of jokes that don’t have a set place in my act… they ‘float’—they're insults to the audience, or jokes about my own discomfort, or the situation I find myself in, and I fall back on them when a joke doesn’t get a response.”

The result is a little like watching a high-wire act nearly fall, and it holds the audience's rapt attention--it’s one reason people come to see him again and again. “It creates tension when a joke fails, and I use that tension to springboard onto an even bigger laugh with the ‘recovery’ line. It frees me up to work on new material, and to improvise, during every set.

"My detractors say I should lose the jokes that don't work... but no one can predict when a joke is going to fall flat. If a waitress drops a tray of drinks, or someone heckles, the best joke is going to fail. I prefer to have a 'Plan B' and audiences like the cat-and-mouse quality, because they never get the same show twice.”

One of Lord’s biggest influences, Johnny Carson, was famous for the same ability. Lord maintains: “Anyone my age that says they weren't influenced by Carson is lying.” His other influences include radio comedians Groucho Marx, and W.C. Fields, which seems fitting, because radio is where most people know Carrett from.

Lord’s managed the rare feat of headlining theaters without a sitcom or major television exposure. While he's appeared on television ranging from Showtime to"A Dating Story," radio is where he's made his reputation. His ability to work within that medium's verbal confines without sacrificing any of the impact led The Baltimore Sun to describe him as: "A cross between Sid Caesar and Sid Vicious.

The Prayer of Saint Michael

Saint Michael the Archangel, Defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.  May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the heavenly Host by the Divine Power of God cast into hell, Satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.  Amen.

More than four in five Americans support major limitations on abortion, poll shows

BY DAVE ANDRUSKO
HT: Weasel Zippers
January 10, 2013, (National Right to Life News)—A new Marist poll conducted for the Knights of Columbus reveals that 83% of Americans favor significant limitations on what is now essentially abortion on demand. That is up 4 points from last year.

A total of 56% of respondents believe either that abortion should never be permitted (10%), allowed only to save the life of the mother (12%), or only in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother (34%).

The telephone survey of 1,246 adults conducted in early December found that 27% would limit abortion to the first three months of pregnancy, at most.  Another 6% would allow abortion during the first six months of pregnancy while only 11% would allow abortion at any time.

Nearly 6 in 10 Americans (58%) also believe abortion is “morally wrong.”  And in many ways perhaps most important of all, a full 84% of Americans say laws can protect both mothers and unborn children.

“After four decades of legalized abortion in this country, Americans have had ample time to understand that abortion has terrible consequences,” said Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl Anderson.

“They understand abortion’s true legacy – a child loses life, and parents lose a child. And after witnessing the effects of abortion for the past 40 years, Americans are not legally or morally comfortable with that legacy. It is time for our country to chart a new course on this issue – a course that protects both the mother and the child.”

Lee Miringoff of The Marist Poll observed,  “For years polls have found that Americans divide on labeling themselves as pro-life or pro-choice.” He added,  “By asking more detailed questions about their specific views on abortion, we have been able to go beyond those labels to get a more complete picture of what Americans actually think about this issue.”

KOCBM Call to Prayer

The Knights of Columbus at St. Rose of Lima parish in Newtown, Conn. have organized a prayer drive for the benefit of those affected by the town's recent tragedy. 

...“There's a very important message, that the Rosary is a very powerful prayer, and one that can bring miracles. And we hope for that,...” Council 185’s Grand Knight, Tim Haas said in a Dec. 20 interview with EWTN News.  “This is a special way for us to remember the holy innocents who were lost. There were 12 little girls, 8 boys, and they were taken from us without warning or cause, and we need to pray for their families.”

The council's message promoting the prayer drive was released Dec. 19,...Within 24 hours, they had gathered over 60,000 Hail Mary prayers for the intentions of Newtown, CT.

The Newtown Knights are asking that those who participate say at least three Hail Mary prayers for three intentions: “ONE for the victims and their families, ONE for the first responders and teachers,  and ONE for the residence of Newtown giving them strength and to support the afflicted.”

Those praying are then invited to notify the council by e-mail at HailMary@kofc185.org, reporting the number of people praying, the number of prayers said and the location.
