The folks at Funny Or Die come up with some fun videos, but this one is a doozy with an all star cast and a poke at thirty years of film:
The governor of Maine, Paul LePage, who, like a number of far right Republican governors currently in office, has gone insane, decided that a mural depicting the history of labor in the government Dept. of Labor offices was not pro-business enough.

It’s nice to see normal people being silly. Congratulations Emre and Joya!
