I will be waiting in anticipation down at the post office for my ear. Could you send me van Gogh's?

I love the word "bicameral," don't you? It sings trippingly off the tongue. I believe I first heard the word in 8th grade civics class.

I WAS under the impression that it was possible for the Senate to get that all important 2/3 majority. HM kindly corrected me. You, as usual, started a minor war over it.
