News! With sounds! What will those magicians on the web-tubes think of next!?!? KU football, city hall corruption, and Paris Hilton doing things with elephants are but some of the hubbub from this week's Actual News. It's Punditocracy's podcast palaver of the past week!

UPDATE: According to Paris Hilton's publicist, the story in this week's Actual News regarding Hilton's activism on behalf of drunken elephants--and the villagers they've killed in north east India--is a hoax.*..."Paris Hilton giving a crap about what happens to poor people in developing countries? This story was obviously concocted," said the publicist. "I mean, she couldn't find India on a map of India, let alone pronounce the north eastern states of 'Assam and Meghalaya.' Concerned about elephant welfare? The woman upholstered her stretch Hummer in elephant skin and bathes in liquefied tusk ivory every night. Once again, the media has irresponsibly portrayed Paris Hilton as a caring human being. For shame, media-for shame."
