There can be no laborers depicted in labor departments!

Maine's Gov. Paul LePage is taking down a mural at the Department of Labor that depicts, umm, labor, which through hard work built the state. He also plans to rename conference rooms named for iconic labor figures. Labor advocates call the move mean-spirited.

"I observed that this mural is nothing but propaganda to further the agenda of the Union movement. I felt for a moment that I was in communist North Korea where they use these murals to brainwash the masses." -- a comment from an observer

Sigh.
