A Monday morning two-fer

These caught my eye. First - our narcissist in chief just will not go away. From The Washington Examiner:

Obama envisions creating 'a million young Barack Obamas' during speech in Japan
Former President Barack Obama talked about his future plans for his post-presidency life at a conference Sunday in Japan, addressing how he might shape "a million" new, young leaders in his mold.

The wide-ranging discussion repeatedly touched on the Obama Foundation's efforts to engage the digital space to help young people in the U.S. and across the world get connected.

"If I could do that effectively, then -- you know -- I would create a hundred or a thousand or a million young Barack Obamas or Michelle Obamas," Obama said. "Or, the next group of people who could take that baton in that relay race that is human progress."

Human progress? Good God - that insufferable egomaniac did more in his eight years to bring us back to the stone ages than any other president in history. The only thing that he did well was to make us look fondly on Jimmy Carter's administration.

Second - this is a wonderful start and it would be interesting to see if this happens here. From Reuters:

Malaysia proposes jail for up to 10 years, fines for 'fake news'
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak’s government tabled a bill in parliament on Monday outlawing “fake news”, with hefty fines and up to 10 years in jail.

Heh - this is all about personal accountability. If you have the bully pulpit, you also have the responsibiility to actually do your job and make sure the information you give out is accurate. Indulge in wishful thinking and pay the price.
