the biblical line was written to emphasize sitting and doing nothing while waiting for the second coming of jesus christ was not a good idea. as i ve pointed out many times before, there s good socialism and bad socialism just as there s good capitalism and bad capitalism. the challenge of the modern world is to decide when socialism works better than capitalism and when capitalism works better than socialism. virtually all politicians in almost all the press corp have no idea what socialism is, they have no idea how much socialism they support, like social security and medicare, the crown jewel of good socialism. whenever my name is mentioned to bill o reilly, he says that o donnell is a socialist, not realizing he is, too. o reilly and i differ in the degree of support for socialism. the worst enemy of good
didn t get as many laughs as the president but he got some. let me get back to sarah palin a minute because i don t want to lose perspective on her since she wants some attention. you re the comedian, al. i mean, she certainly had some friends at the correspondents dinner. bill o reilly was there, newt gingrich who palin voted for in the 2012 primary. even christie, o donnell, even i m not a witch christine o donnell. it wasn t like you had democrats there or people that she always criticizes. people she supports was there. they can take shots at their own party, the other party, but it s in gest. president obama is joking but not really. sarah palin was not joking.

boston medical center. sidney was hit by nearly fatal shrapnel and celebrated her birthday today in a hospital bed beside her mother s hospital bed. her mother celeste lost both of her legs below the knee. joining me now, captain cameron west who visited sidney and her mother. captain, tell me what you had to tell these victims of the boston bombing? yes, sir, mr. o donnell. number one, it s an honor to be here in support of those that were injured, and to tell you, we went up to boston to try to motivate and show those that were injured a little bit of what they might experience in the next couple months and year with their amputation. and in turn we actually were motivated by these people of all ages, and that is what compelled us to get up there, and we were
