the doors of conception
Sarah Palin today said she will seek guidance from a higher authority over whether to run for the White House in 2012.
The defeated republican vice presidential candidate told how she hoped God would ‘show her the way’ on any bid for the presidency in four years.
But the Alaska governor, who has been promoted as a possible candidate in some republican quarters, has not yet decided to mount a campaign.
She said: ‘I’m like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I’m like, don’t let me miss the open door.
‘Show me where the open door is.’

From ‘The Doors of Perception’, by Aldous Huxley:
The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less sure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend.
The Governor who continues to seek the Door in the Wall, however, will always be the same ignorant shower of vacuous twaddle-bollocks as she was to start with. She will never be any better equipped to understand the relationship of word to things, especially if that thing is a continent. Systematic reasoning will forever remain a mystery, and she will be consigned to history as being the only politician ever who could make Dubya seem as articulate and progressive as Gandhi. God will say unto her, ‘Go forth through the door and multiply, again, for you will never comprehend.’
And she was gone.
