News reports indicate that the Romney camp required Clint to recite this statistic – just about the only moment of control they exercised over the speech.

Of course, the numbers aren’t totally accurate; the Bureau of Labour Statistics put out a report this month stating a total of only 12.8 million unemployed in the U.S. Instead, the Romney campaign is giving its own private statistic for the number of Americans it considers underemployed.

In the NBA, referees can give a technical foul, or a “tech.” 2 Chainz uses the slang to refer to a Tec-9, a 9mm pistol. Essentially the guy with the piece ends the fight, like a referee with a whistle. Very clever.

A labor of love for my fellow RG'ers:
