Can someone look to see if there is a twitter name of "JoeBidensTransAm"?

If not, register it, and maybe we can have it tweet about how much it misses Joe or something. Also include funny/outrageous things Joe has said and done.

Thanks, we'll see what we can do - just grabbed the mp3. Damn, 3:09? Ok, will take awhile.

Yeah, and that was moving pretty fast. Maybe we can cut some of the later parts out. I can send a higher-quality WAV or 192KB/s MP3, not sure what Soundcloud does when transcoding.

Being the beaurocratic desk jockey that I am, should we reorganize a few threads for comms?

Proposals:

Charity handlers
Media Promotion (reddit/colbert/wh/huffpo etc etc)
Trans An procurement squad (including titles/taxes etc)
Legal Team

Debbie Downers & Trolls (in their own thread)

Thoughts? Or are there some super-secret TF type threads looming behind the curtain that would be better?

thebigfarker		2012-10-12 03:07:19 PM

Re ellct him and we all get one - right?

Iceman_Cometh		2012-10-12 03:07:24 PM

Magnanimous_J: Iceman_Cometh: The Trans Am better be a complete POS since the VP, as a Gov't employee, cannot legally accept a gift valued over $20.

Maybe we can get around it because the contributors are not part of any coherent group, so really, the gift is just many thousands of gifts of $5 a piece. Or we can just tow it to the White House and leave it there.

Wait, that's a horrible idea.

The rule doesn't work like that, but I'd like to see the expression on Biden's face if it was parked in the driveway.

gunther_bumpass: Duke Phillips' Singing Bears: Why all the anger? It's a fun idea. If you like Joe, there's no reason not to have some fun. If it bothers you so much, start your own donation page to buy Romney a f*cking personality or something.

How about a box of dildos?

I'll start a page with donation links.

Agneska		2012-10-12 03:08:11 PM

How about donating that money to women's shelters? You know, to help them against the War on Women (TM) that Repubs are waging. *Looks at donation page* Nevermind. Keep the change.

Well, you have to be alive for a heart to work. A zombie like Cheney would have gobbled that heart like antipasto.

I guess I'm getting too old for this level of nonsense. I read the Onion article, and snickered a little bit, but I wouldn't call it movement inspiring. I suppose next we'll start a fund to actually outlaw pancakes.

Maybe we should donate the money to a literacy campaign instead...

GT_bike:

maybe if everyone got all giddy and stupid about Big Bird too you all could donate to your local PBS station to save Sesame Street...instead of buying a Trans AM for a millionaire.

I'm already a monthly donor to my local PBS station. That doesn't mean that I can't skip lunch today and instead donate $5 to something for the lulz...

Leeds		2012-10-12 03:13:15 PM

Any chance we can cap it off at 1K and buy him a trans-am that's as shiatty as Biden is?

There's no need to get him one that very nice, folks.

Guise guise! I was just looking at the funders and even Paul Ryan gave 5 dollars!

Screw the Trans Am. Get him a real car from Government Motors.

It's for charity, hater. Joe's not going to be driving it to and from work or anything.
