I have a similar pun, only it's in Dutch. The space is called Kamer52
Kamer is dutch for chamber, room. But it is also what the Parliament is called, the "Eerste Kamer" and "Tweede Kamer". (First and Second Chamber, roughly cognate to the Senate and House of Reps) Because of this, Senators and Reps are called "Kamerleden"or (get ready for it) Chamber members. I do make some use of this reference on my blog in referring to my members as "Kamerleden". In addition, Raad is dutch for advice. Kamer Raad is then advice from the "Kamer", either the one in the Hague or the one in Oosterhout. :-) But Kameraad is also indeed comrade, and so my Twitter/Skype handle is Kameraad52. It's funny. In dutch. Really.
