Snorting Coke Near the President

How disrespectful to the office of the president.

Fact: David Cross once snorted cocaine at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

The actor confessed to the persistent rumor in an interview in the March issue of Playboy magazine, saying he pulled the stunt while sitting some 65 feet away from President Obama.

“It wasn’t even that much cocaine. It was literally the size of, I don’t know, a tick. It was a tiny granule of coke that I put on my wrist and said, ‘Watch this. I need a witness,’” Cross recalled.

“And then I ducked under the table and did it. It wasn’t like I got high,” he continued. “The jolt was similar to licking an empty espresso cup. It wasn’t about that. It was just about being able to say that I did it, that I did cocaine in the same room as the president.”

No Issues with Voter ID

Gee, whodathunk that almost everyone has a picture ID and carries it with them?

Local election officials reported no problems enforcing the new law as people in about 520 of Wisconsin’s 1,850 cities, villages and towns voted on local races. In Dane County, they cast ballots in a judicial primary, while some also winnowed the candidates for two County Board seats and weighed in on a school referendum.
