A lot of times, when people talk about 'right-wing' or 'left-wing' in regards to politics, I have to scramble to remember which one is which. Maybe because I, to this day, remain unaffiliated from any one party.
But never fear.
A fad of the past known as Beanie Babies has helped me avoid complete forgetfulness. As a kid, a good friend of mine bought Lefty the Donkey, even though it made her a little uneasy that he was the symbol of Democrats. But, he was just a lot cuter than the Elephant, Righty.

Because what could be a better mnemonic device than a stuffed animal?
And they said this fad would die out. Not quite. Not quite yet.
