I bought a Beanie Baby today, a donkey called "Lefty"

I know it's totally cheesy and I don't normally buy Beanie Babies, but I was in Hallmark and saw this:

and couldn't resist. It is sitting proudly on our coffee table and we have declared it to be good luck for Kerry.

Is that something a bush supporter would do? I am concerned about myself.

2. They did make an elephant called Rightie

my niece had both of them (back during the height of the Beanie Baby craze). Unfortunately, one of the dogs took a liking to Rightie and he was destroyed in a fierce game of tug of war between the dog and my niece.

I always really liked that dog.

3. BWA!

Yeah, I looked at "Rightie" with disdain and didn't touch it. Hee hee. Nothing like taking political discourse to new levels, eh?

I like that dog, too. Good taste.

4. How cute! I will have to check out my nearest Hallmark

and get one for my Mom's 80th birthday coming up soon.

6. My daughter, 11, collects beanie babies.

I take her to the mall about once a week, and she buys a new one.

And yes, we have 'Lefty'.

7. I have one

I bought it for my son, and he set it on our mantle, where it proudly sits now. I thought it was so cute. There is also an Elephant, Righty. Even though it symbolizes Republican, I want that one too, because I love elephants, and it is cute. I always thought that the elephant was the wrong symbol for the Republican party. It is so unfair to the elephants.

8. Hee hee

no I couldn't bring myself to buy Rightie. Or even touch it. I know it's just a stupid stuffed animal, I guess that's how far I've sunk,LOL!

My husband gave me a funny look when I wanted to buy it, so I put it back. He thought I was going over to the dark side...

11. OMG! My Girlfriend bought "Lefty" today,. too!

We were at the flea market, and she started looking for any kind of plush donkey.

Good ol' boy w/a pick-em-up full of beanies told her about Lefty and Righty. Few minutes later, she found a pair...

"You should have bought Righty, too...'

"What the fuck for???"

"To stick PINS into, like a Voodoo doll!"

"You're SICK..."
