if she has helmet what's lohan wearing?

After two weeks of American political conventions, I was getting a little tired of politicians “transcending” stuff. Barack Obama was transcending race and party politics. Sarah Palin was transcending gender and the notion of what constitutes political experience. Joe Biden was transcending my ability to stay awake. Frankly, by last night I was ready for something a little more traditional – in an age of transcendence, I was ready for a politician who’d be willing to settle for absorbing or even refracting at least a few things.
