An extension of the Common Sense Journalism monthly column by Doug Fisher, former broadcaster, newspaper reporter and wire service editor. From new media to old, much of journalism is just plain common sense.
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." - Unknown (often improperly attributed to Thomas Jefferson)
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair
"Common sense is not so common" - Voltaire
"Common sense is instinct; enough of it is genius" - George Bernard Shaw
OK, this is one of those stories to read on a Monday morning just -- well, just because. From the Berkshire Eagle, outpointed by Bonnie - thanks.

One also has to admire the fact that the paper felt compelled to explain to its readers who the original Jesus Christ was.
I'm a fan of "when Christ 'appeared out of nowhere.'"
