What the Countable Community Has Accomplished This Week

How are you feeling about your work week on The Hill?

Who You Are

Another impressive week, _________________.

I'm Mad Libbing the above because last week I called you the Countable Community, but now I'm not so sure.

That's because we're asking you, the _____________, to propose collective nouns. It's a murder of crows, a shrewdness of apes, a gulp of cormorants....but what do you call a colony of concerned citizens who are saving democracy?

Here are a few of your suggestions that we are absolutely not going with:

  • The Spin Room
  • Misguided Leftist Sheep
  • Clown Squad
  • The Deplorables
  • MAGAus
  • Nattering Nabobs of Negativity
  • Snowflake Pudding (though it sounds delicious)

Here are some favorites:

  • The aCountables
  • The Counties or The Counters
  • We the People
  • The Delegates
  • The Concerned Electorate
  • The Watchers of Liberty
  • “The Countable Community: A Citizen Watchdog Group.”
  • Rabble Rousers

Which do you like? Pop over here and let us know. We'll be holding a vote soon.

What You've Accomplished

No matter what you call yourselves, the Founding Fathers and Founding Mothers are proud at what you've accomplished this week:
