Random stuff to help me procrastinate

I have email to answer and work to do, so instead let me post a quote o'the day and waste some time filling out a couple of quiz things.

Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pride. - Sutta Nipata

(These are my specific results; if you want to fill it out yourself, go to http://glassbooth.org/.)

According to these folks,the top matches break down like this:
93% Mike Gravel
90% Dennis Kucinich
80% Hillary Clinton
80% Bill Richardson
76% John Edwards
76% Barack Obama

Interesting to see the differences in rankings. Glassbooth selects the questions it asks you based on your indication of which issues are most important to you; I notice that in this one, Gravel and Kucinich basically get flipped from the bottom of the list of candidates I'd be willing to vote for to the top.
