Mrs. Hughes – The first time you see Mrs. Hughes you might think, “She could be my neighbor.” She’s just about the last person you’d expect to see in a night club, so the fact that she is performing in one might startle you at first.

Carol Hughes began her comedy career when she was forty. “Years ago I heard Merv Griffin interview Phyllis Diller, and she said she started doing comedy when she was thirty-nine. I remember saying to myself, ‘I could do that.’

“Later, I met comedienne Candy Carr at Weight Watchers and she said ‘Write five funny minutes and go to the Improv.’ I already had five funny minutes, so I went. It was terrific! I remember the MC saying, ‘Go for it Mama! You’re funny!’ I got a huge ovation and I was hooked.”

As for her husband, she says, “He’s very supportive, but I believe he thought comedy would be like that Afghan I started. I’d work on it for a while, lose interest, then stick it up in the attic with the exercise bike.” Neither of them expected her career to take off so quickly and have this much staying power. Mrs. Hughes now has fans all over the world, some of whom show up at performances with tissues up their noses!

Mrs. Hughes has two beautiful daughters and Scooter the surfer dude, (who’s the drummer in the garage band Fine Young Vegetables). Scooter and his girlfriend, Hiawatha, are engaged to be engaged sometime after the band makes it big. And he finishes his community service. And gets a haircut.

Her older daughter an actor, comic, and voicover talent, is married to a software architect, and has one son, Devon. Her younger daughter is a talented hair stylist who has three children; twins Brandon and Justin, and the youngest, Rini.

“That’s right,” she says. “I’m a grandmother. I don’t have any jokes about it ‘cause they live with us and it’s not funny.” Of course when you hear her talk about it you realize it is funny… very funny.

Her act is punctuated with pithy observations on parenting, hot flashes, and husbands, “They’re like brassieres. Sometimes you just want to be rid of them and go free. But you can’t ‘cause you need the support.”

It was just this sort of remark that caught the eye of the Russ Berrie Company who featured Mrs. Hughes’ likeness and wit in her own line of greeting cards. “According to Carol” was in 100,000 stores and gift shops throughout the United States.

When Merv Griffin found her, he instantly made her the comedy star of his revue, “Love and Kisses” at Resorts in Atlantic City and then “Island Fever” near Las Vegas.

About Mrs. Hughes, Merv said, “She’s my new favorite funny star.” Since then she has appeared in several casino production shows and has opened for Crystal Gayle, Lou Rawls, Brenda Lee and others.

So if any one happens to ask, “What’s a nice lady like Mrs. Hughes doing in a Comedy Club?” The answer is, “Cracking people up!”

Andreas Kluth-Author

My name is Andreas Kluth and I am three things in life: husband/dad, correspondent for The Economist, and aspiring book author.
On this blog, I’ll be writing mostly about the book (to be published on January 5th, 2012) and the process of writing it, as well as writing and language in general. For the next couple of months, I probably won’t give away too much from the plot itself, but nearer to publication, you can expect me to open up a lot more.
I’ll also take occasional detours into stuff related to The Economist and the world of ideas generally. Occasionally, I may get just plain wacky.
Hopefully I’ll hear in the comments from anybody who’s interested, in the book or in other things that come up.

Sam Sommers – Sam Sommers is an award-winning teacher and researcher of social psychology at Tufts University outside Boston.

His research specialties include how people think, communicate, and behave in diverse settings, as well as psychological perspectives on the U.S. legal system.

At Tufts, Sam is known for his engaging lecture style and has won multiple teaching awards, including being selected by the Student Senate as the Professor of the Year in 2009.

(His wife would also insist on mentioning that he was voted by the student newspaper the “hottest” male professor on campus. However, being well-versed in the power of situations, he’d note that the honor had less to do with him than with the anything-but-fierce state of the competition.)

In his free time, Sam enjoys hanging out with his wife and two daughters, batting lead-off for the vaunted Tufts Psychology summer softball team, and exerting far more effort than he probably should looking for Seinfeld and Daily Show clips to use in the classroom.

VERDICT: IRAN BEHIND 9/11: Federal Judge finds Iran and Hezbollah Culpable in Attacks
There are two names that are at the center of a case that helped lead U.S. District Court Judge George Daniels to sign documents that identify the state of Iran, Hezbollah, the Ayatollah, and others as being very involved in the September 11th attacks. Janice Kephart, Director of National Security Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies, and former counsel for the 9/11 Commission provided a written affidavit for the case.

Abolghasem Mesbahi, an Iranian who fled that country when he was tipped off by a colleague that he was on the regime’s kill list, provided what Daniels deemed credible testimony. According to court documents, after Mesbahi left Iran, he received coded messages three times within two months prior to the 9/11 attacks; those messages demonstrate Iran’s foreknowledge of an operation known as “Satan in Fire,” a term used to describe an attack on the United States that ultimately succeeded.

The other individual who was instrumental in connecting Iran to the 9/11 attacks was a man named Imad Mughniyah, who essentially served as the Hezbollah leader that worked with al-Qaeda while receiving direction from Iranian officials. Mughniyah was assassinated in Syria in February of 2008.

The case, known as Havlish v. Iran, may provide the clearest evidence yet of Iran’s involvement in the worst attack on American soil. Documents show that Mughniyah and 9/11 attackers traveled on flights together and that individuals involved were repeatedly allowed to pass through Iran without having their passports stamped.

Kephart, an immigration expert, warns that with Hezbollah’s increased presence to America’s south, the facts about Iran’s involvement in 9/11 are now more important than ever.
