Michael Jackson murdered.

When Susan Boyle first appeared in the public eye, it was because we were all shocked that our preconceptions could be so wrong.
Go on.  Admit it,and if you won’t, I’ll go first.  When I first saw Susan Boyle, I was thinking What the fuck?

Séamus Heaney is 70. 
Happy birthday, Séamus.

Tonight we have the very last Galactica episode ever.
What will it reveal? What will the outcome be?
