    Human Rights Guy to State Dept.

    Hey, Hillary did something awesome: Our new Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor is Michael Posner, head of Human Rights First.

    Posner has a long history of doing good and noble things, like helping torture victims and refugees and promoting "corporate accountability for working conditions in the apparel industry."

    So this is a pretty good hire! Still, the Senate has to approve him, so let's all hope he pays his damn taxes.
