DEAD WRONG

The famous clairvoyant's unflappable certainty has finally caught up with her in the Cleveland kidnapping case—she said Amanda Berry was dead. Other mediums saw trouble coming, so why didn't she? The Daily Beast's Winston Ross talks to psychics about the flop.

SORRY!

The Internal Revenue Service apologized Friday for inappropriately "flagging" conservative political organizations who submitted applications containing the words "tea party" or "patriot." John Avlon on the embarrassing admission—and the bigger tax story we're still not talking about.

'FORENSIC HITS'

Police say they have found "mounting evidence" tying Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev to a brutal triple homicide in 2011. Massachusetts investigators told ABC News that they've found "forensic hits" linking both Boston bombing suspects to the crime, but that it's still too early to consider indicting Dzhokhar. Tamerlan was a roommate of one of the victims, Brendan Mess, who was found dead, along with two other men, in his home with his throat slit. The bodies were covered with marijuana, prompting theories that the elder Tsarnaev was angry that Dzhokhar, an enthusiastic pot smoker, had been toking up with Mess. Meanwhile, the suspects' uncle told the Associated Press that Tamerlan has been buried near Richmond, Virginia.  

Call Jiffy Lube?

There must not be AAA in space. After a radiator leak at the International Space Station began sending white flakes of ammonia into space, a NASA spokesman said an emergency spacewalk may be necessary to fix the problem. Though the spokesman called the spacewalk only a "possibility," astronauts at the space station are sending tweets that make the ordeal seem a certainty: "Good Morning, Earth! Big change in plans, spacewalk tomorrow, Chris Cassidy and Tom Marshburn are getting suits and airlock ready. Cool!"  

Unpopular Opinion

Taking a break from presidential oddsmaking, Public Policy Polling released the results of a different, equally important survey: how do Americans feel about Justin Bieber? In a music-oriented poll, the petulant pop star was among the artists rated unfavorably by 50 percent or more of respondents. (Chris Brown and Lady Gaga suffered the same fate.) Taylor Swift, Adele, Beyoncé, and Justin Timberlake were among the most liked, with Timberlake finishing first among artists Americans would most like to see as president. Among the poll's other interesting findings: 75 percent of Americans have not been to "the club," and 68 percent dislike rap.
