Do Cicadas Like Right Wingers Better?

With all the chatter and photos of cicadas for the past several weeks, I feel almost deprived because I haven't seen a single such creature up here in the so-called People's Republic of Vermont.

Hell,I even saw one hitting the back of President Bush's head (the president's snipers must have been on a coffee break) and I've heard about them as close as New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

Now, we're overridden with mosquitoes and black flies, gnats, and horny moose, but no cicadas.
