Balderdash! On Nov 3rd, everybody goes back to their daily bullshit.
Take out the garbage, find the damn cat, get the car inspected, dig out the Christmas lights and grumble about the stinkin' politicians.
The rapture will have to wait, I've got enough to worry about just getting laid. :p

I miss the "When the Rapture comes, can I have your car" bumper stickers.

Of course, I miss big bells and chambray shirts, too, so I'm not really a good judge of...well...anything.

I think the closures were done by the police, generally for security concerns...you know truck bombs and whatnot. But I did see what I suppose were small impromptu protest movements. Specifically, I ran into (and almost OVER) a group of about 15 people shouting and waving hastily scrawlled signs, spilling off the sidewalk into the street. They managed to stop traffic for about 5 minutes but in DC that's plenty of time to cause a fairly significant backup. I don't know how long that gathering lasted, I didn't stay to find out. It's possible they disbanded and left before cops could do it for them.
