Fark wants to give Biden the bird

From a little bit into the plea for money:

"All the while, Joe Biden has calmly and quietly been an incredible Vice President. He was one of the first politicians to publicly embrace gay marriage and may have been personally responsible for President Obama coming out in favor of gay marriage and the subsequent change in the Democratic Party's platform. He is also a stunningly intelligent politician who understands the nuance of foreign and domestic policy. He is also not afraid to show disdain for factually deficient arguments.



In order to let Vice President Biden know just how much we appreciate him, while also making a very silly part of the internet come true (we are the internet after all), let's buy Uncle Joe a Trans Am like the one that is featured in The Onion’s article."

Joe Biden is a great man and a great Vice President and I like that Fark is celebrating him this way.

•If we reach our target goal we will purchase a Trans Am like the one in The Onion's article, drive it to D.C., and [hopefully] have Joe Biden and the car mug for the camera on the White House lawn.
•The car will then be auctioned off and all proceeds will be distributed evenly to the Biden Breast Health Initiative, Doctors Without Borders, the Wounded Warrior Project, and GLAAD.
•If we DON'T reach our target amount of $25,000, whatever amount we DO reach will be distributed evenly among those same four charities.
•Any money received above the $25,000 goal will also be distributed evenly among those same four charities.
