MARK SIMONS' THOUGHTS: Here's hoping that apostrophe was in the right spot...

In the aftermath of Katrina, we've seen government failure on the federal, state and local level--but hey, if you're gonna fail, you might as well cover all three bases! Surprisingly, (or not so surprisingly for those of us that are stalwart supporter's of Ron Livingston's Office Space nightmare) corporate America has done an admirable job of harnessing resources.

As Mark points out in today's DI editorial, as of September 14th, the Chamber of Commerce reported over $614 million in corporate giving. Not too shabby.

I guess there is something to be said for a system that profits from efficiency...and from manipulating the workforce of third-world countries. Just kidding--remember, I am a conservative!
