Some Resolutions You Can Use, South Dakota Style

South Dakota Watch got started earlier on their New Year’s Resolutions, so early in fact that Todd Epp has written ten of them, Ten New Years Resolutions The Rest Of Us Can Use.

My favorites are:

1. You know the way you are? Don’t be that way!

Perhaps the greatest advice ever given from one TV character to another, Lou Grant said this to Ted Baxter when Ted was about to be married on the Mary Tyler Moore Show back in the 1970s. Are you a smoker? Don’t be that way? Are you depressed? Don’t be that way. Are you a jerk? Don’t be that. way.
Simple.

and . . .

4. Develop your inner edit button.

Don’t say the first stupid or hurtful thing that pops into your head. Find your inner edit button. Then use it.

As they say, go there to read the rest.
