Snowstorm at the White House?

The Save Jersey blog stitches together some fascinating detective work that begins with a discussion thread at 4chan.

A photo of a few lines of coke taken on an iPhone?

Here's where it gets interesting. Really interesting. Someone else logged on to the same site and analyzed the coke photo's point of origin. This second individual was able to ascertain the location where the photo was snapped since it was taken with an iphone. As you may or may not know, iphones transmit GPS data of where pics are taken when they're uploaded to the web if the GPS is turned on. You can look at the metadata and see where it came from. It's a brave new world!

Guess what longitude and latitude turned up? 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. That's the White House for those of you who bombed civics in high school.

I've provided a Google map of the coordinates:

You can also click here to see the basic image photo information, including more evidence pointing to its origination at the White House.

If those coordinates are indeed correct, then somebody on high has an AWFUL LOT of explaining to do. All I know is that you wouldn't have had this problem in the Bush White House!

...An unrelated snort incident from Politico back in October '09 -- Comedian David Cross admits doing coke at the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner (click here).

...Then-candidate Obama admits using cocaine, a revelation unearthed from his memoir back in early 2007 (click here).

Y'know, all of this could be fudged -- but I have a funny feeling it's on the level. But don't hold your breath waiting for our beloved Justice Department to investigate.


Hat tip: Linkiest. Also: Jawa is skeptical, but still...

oh, I do hope it's true.

The good news would be that Coke at the White House can be cured.

The reality is that Terminal stupidity has no cure.

I blame Bush and global warming.

Heh. More likely they'll investigate whoever is doing the investigating...
