Dee turned on the radio, let it seek the AM dial - nothing but static - and FM landed just one station, an NPR affiliate out of southwest Colorado that had diverged markedly from its standard programming. A young man read names and addresses over the airwaves.

Imagine a giant penitentiary orbiting the Earth at a height of 22,000 miles. Visionary? A futuristic dream? We at the Institute of Social Dynamics don't think so. That's why our engineers started planning it five years ago. We call it Sky Pen. With the successful flight of the space shuttle Columbia we now have the technology to make Sky Pen a reality. Shuttles able to take off and land at Earth bases will carry construction workers and materials readily to the site. Once Sky Pen is built, shuttle trips in rocket-powered paddy wagons will transport convicted felons to the proper orbit altitude for rendezvous with the penitentiary and return to Earth with parolees.
Regrettably, certain circles still fail to see the advantages of putting penitentiaries in orbit. ''Hoosegow Schmoosegow'' is the headline over a recent newspaper editorial. Its author describes our institute's brilliant strategic penal thinkers as ''boobs and crackpots.''
Normally we pay no attention to hired scribblers and their vulgar invective. This one, however, happens to work for a newspaper that successfully opposed the Government's plan to build a new maximumsecurity prison abutting the rose garden of its publisher's country estate.
This same newspaper has called loudly for judges to send more people to prison. We at the Institute have always favored sending more people to prisons, including editorial writers.
Like the vulgar newspaper's publisher, however, we don't want them sent to prisons in our neighborhood. After the latest assassination attempt, everyone agreed that nothing could be done to prevent these assaults except to imprison more people. Simultaneously, everyone agreed the only place to build prisons was in someone else's neighborhood.
The Institute recognized years ago that the American prison population could not be successfully expanded until we discovered new neighborhoods without strong block associations. Our solution: Sky Pen.
Unlike earthbound prisons, the orbiting penitentiary is economically feasible. It will have powerful support from large, efficient lobbies connected with NASA and the space-technology industry. It will have the emotional support of all patriots who want to see America put a penitentiary in space ahead of the Russians.
Persuading governments to spend for earthbound prisons is nearly impossible, despite public demand for putting more people under lock and key. With the space lobbies and patriots prodding them, however, governments will finally take action.
There is no limit to prison capacity in space orbit. Once the technology is mastered, we can provide cell space for millions. Thus we take a giant step toward solving the assassination problem.
Moreover, the escape of vicious felons will no longer terrorize law-abiding folks. To break out, prisoners will have to build highly sophisticated escape suits and portable pressurizing tanks from scraps smuggled back to their cells from the sheet-metal shop.
Even then their hopes of getting back to Earth will be slim unless a relative has sent them a small rocket engine and a fairly complex guidance system baked into a cake. And of course, they are likely to fare very badly indeed if they forget to bring along a heat shield.
Will a 10-year sentence to hard orbiting be construed by the Supreme Court as cruel and unusual punishment? We think not. Incarcerated in a condition of weightlessness, prisoners will not feel any tonnage of balls and chains the most brutal keeper might use to hold them down.
Solitary confinement will no longer be a dreary business of squatting on the floor of dark cells. Weightless in space, the solitary prisoner will be able to pass the time amusingly by floating from wall to wall and from ceiling to floor.
A few problems remain to be solved. To maintain prisoners' morale by assuring them of an ample supply of inedible swill to spark messhall rebellions, for example, we must develop a dehydrated swill substitute capable of being served in plastic packets.
We must also develop emergency evacuation procedures to rescue the inmates if a penitentiary's orbit starts to decay and it threatens to fall to Earth. Our statistical studies show that a falling penitentiary is 11 times more likely to fall harmlessly into an ocean than to strike a city the size of Chicago.
The risk of being struck by a falling Sky Pen is negligible compared to the risk of being shot if we have no space penitentiaries with which to get the trigger-happy off the streets. We at the Institute believe the slight risk of obliteration by falling penitentiary is a small price to pay to preserve our constitutional right to buy pistols.

Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies and Employees of the Executive Office of the President
Subject: Restricted Use of Government Aircraft
The taxpayers should pay no more than absolutely necessary to transport Government officials. The public should only be asked to fund necessities, not luxuries, for its public servants.

Dan Rather got it right George W. Bush DID go AWOL
byLefty Coaster
I always suspected something like this was the case. The new issue of Texas Monthly delves into the long neglected story of George W. Bush less than stellar military career in the Texas Air National Guard. The Texas Monthly lays out the surprisingly complicated mechanizations that led to the Junior Bush landing this plumb spot in the T.A.N.G.
That George W. got special treatment at a time when draftees were likely to end up slogging through the jungles of Viet Nam shouldn't come as too much of a surprise to anyone who knows how America routinely gives special treatment to the offspring of the 1%.
