THE AMERICAN STREET: Literally, in this case, since that’s where I saw this bumper sticker. “Terrorists Beware: Rugby Player On Board.” I think Mark Bingham would be proud.

And rightly so.

It’s almost enough to make me wish I played rugby, instead of just being part of the “rugby of opinion peddling.” But only almost. When I was in college, I dated a member of the women’s rugby team, and I know that I’m not that tough.
