Thom's been using SHAFTA for years without having a real name behind the acronym, and now he does!

Thursday of last week MILLIONS of American lives were directly impacted by the GOP's filibuster of a bill to extend unemployment benefits. That night not a single mention on any of the major nightly newscasts. Not one!
