quote of the day: courage

“You have an obligation five nights a week to be serious and funny. I have an obligation five nights a week to be serious and boring. It takes a lot of courage to be boring five nights a week.”

- NewsHour anchor Jim Lehrer, to Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report last night
