Waxing America Poll Results Reviewed

The fifteen polls Waxing America conducted over the past two months reveal some interesting things about our, mostly Wisconsin, readers, or at least those who respond to the polls and surveys.

• Over half of you believe that men set fire to one another's genitals because they drink too much beer. A quarter of you think it is their right to do so. Ouch.
• An overwhelming majority (89.6%) of you support Linda Clifford for the Supreme Court. Probably not an honest statistical sample of Wisconsin voters, but encouraging.
• The greatest response was to our presidential poll. Almost a majority supports John Edwards (22%) or Obama (27.5%). I was surprised that Hillary Clinton was blown away by them (9.4%) and even fell behind Bill Richardson (10.6%).
• Two thirds of us agree that pre 9/11 Rudy Giuliani should have focused on NYC security and not magazines poking fun at him.
• Including both men (43.2%) and women (11.4%), over half of our readers claim to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby. Get in line.
• Two thirds of us oppose a trolley for Madison. Not good news for trolley supporters. There will be even more opposition on the conservative side.
• Over half of us do not like the City of Madison using cameras in public places to fight crime.
• The night of the Bush State of the Union Address, more Waxing America readers plotted against the government rather than watch the speech.
• In the classification 'Outrageous' you rank in order: The War in Iraq, Julaine Appling, the Madison City Council, Waxing America.
• If you had to spend a $1000, in almost equal numbers you would spend it on State Street, go to Ikea's or Nordstrom's in Chicago, or invite friends over for a dinner you purchased at Trader Joe's. But the largest number of you would donate the money to the Allied Drive Wellness Center. I love you all.
• As favorite Christmas movie you enjoy A Christmas Story and A Wonderful Life in equal numbers. A Christmas Carol was a distant third.
