Feel free to come on over to the 'aholics chat room. 

http://www.lingr.com/room/TPM-aholics

This is not a TPM-sponsored chat; it's just a handful of old TPM hands who enjoy real-time politalking (and talking about other stuff too).  All are welcome.

(I should add that the only real rule of the chat room is that we leave our mud and rivalries at the door.  Courteous discussion is always fun, but real time chatting with a group is not the most effective way to mediate serious disputes.)
