Only one cool thing ever happened in #taekwondo. And they should’ve just ended the sport after this. It’s called going out on top.
This has a special place in my heart because, as the #taekwondo producer for NBC during the Beijing Games, I didn’t expect any of my content to make the home page, but can you imagine how stoked I was to tell people I’VE GOT SOMETHING!! A competitor just kicked a ref in the face!

I feel like people can watch all this Biden stuff and hear about him giving out his cell number and consoling random folks, and maybe wonder if it’s possibly true. I have a lot of Biden stories from my years as his driver in the senate, but here’s one.
If Senate business ran late - Senate late - and Biden missed the 10 pm train, he didn’t just grab a hotel room. His DC driver drove him up the GW Parkway to Maryland House, where the Delaware driver met us and took him home.

So, I have a @SenJohnMcCain story. In December of 2003, my cousin, a Massachusetts resident, was injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq. He spent weeks recovering and enduring eye surgeries at Walter Reed. I was a staff assistant in Joe Biden’s office - the lowest of low Senate jobs
I asked Erik if there was anything I could do to help him pass time and take his mind off things. He had one ask, and on its face it seemed like a huge one, just get me in to meet @SenJohnMcCain
