From the "Don't Always Believe What You Read On The Internet" department:  President George Bush was NOT arrested for cocaine Possession.

As I was scrolling through Facebook this morning, I came across a post from one of my Facebook friends that contained a link to an article titled "George W. Bush Arrested For Cocaine Possession".  The Facebook user even included "A must share" comment with the post.

The link was taken from a site called "Empire News" which, with one click of a mouse, is easily identified as a satire site.

Just click on the "About" tab on the website, it should tell you that it's a parody/satire site. (empire news)

Please forgive me if I am preaching to the choir, but by "satire", I mean "fake".  Fake, as in "not real".

Before you spread lies, please check the source so that people like me don't think that people like you are gullible.  Here are some of comments from the Facebook post.

At least one of them said "if this is true". (Facebook)
