Talk to the hand:

[Update: This post was one of several in response to Jimmy Fallon’s band playing “Lyin’ Ass Bitch” when Michele Bachmann walked onstage, and incomprehensibly, all that happened was a band member was “severely reprimanded”. I (still) find that unacceptable, while it seems not to bother the NOW.]
