Tomorrow (May 21) is supposed to be the end of the world as we know it, say a bunch of evangelicals. Pols being a political site and me being a heathen, I had to wonder: What’s in Judgment Day for me? What are the politics of rapture in Colorado?
What if all the good people in Colorado Springs are whisked away? Who’s left behind? Is Doug Lamborn gone, or just his base? Does Hancock stay or go? Where’s Ted Haggard? If Bill Armstrong is going, can I have his car? Does this mean there are suddenly available tickets for the U2 concert tomorrow night at Mile High?
What’s your vision of Colorado after rapture?

I stole a cupcake.
I was wondering… poor Romer’s blood sugar is all low now.
Certainly a man with all his plans keeps a secret stash somewhere.
Well after tomorrow, it’s going to look a lot like it does right now.
But I feel fine.

The huckster behind the current end-of-the-world snake oil has a Colorado connection. Harold Camping was born in Boulder. Thus, any and all discussion of this non-event is appropriate for COPols.
But the real time and date we in Colorado should pay attention to is
3am Saturday 21 May 2011
Thus, (and emphasizing the awkward syntax) we will know at around the 3 a.m. local (Mountain Daylight) time hour whether any of our friends in Japan have been raptured. Hell, if the great earthquakes start in New Zealand, rather than Japan, we’ll have a head’s up about the end of the world “at around” midnight Friday. Time Zone Map
That’s plenty of time to make peace with one’s maker (or purchase a peacemaker?), ask for forgiveness, make a few promises, quaff a few fine brews, catch a U2 concert, maybe even settle a few scores, before the rapture comes to a theater (of the absurd) near you.
…I’m looting some SWEET home decor. What do you want to bet at least one of them has a lifesize crucifixion statue?
onward to C Springs !
But if he does, road triiiiip!
I’d like to start a planned parenthood in the Focus on the family complex. I’m pretty sure it’ll be empty.
Excuse me while I retch — and just before lunch, too.
What happens to all the cars on Will Perkins’ lot?
Boulder will lose more residents to the rapture than CO Springs, and San Francisco will lose more than the entire South.
And, dear God, please don’t forget John Andrews . . .
A majority of the Supremes and House (both Houses). Although it will be tough to rebuild a quorum, it can be done with special elections. I am sure Biden can appoint some really good Progressive Justices.
Locally, there will be no end to piles of clothes (at least if those who know and shove their version of religiosity on all who don’t give a damn go the way they expect). I would say burn it all however all the polyester, cotton and wool blends will foul the air.
I will enjoy a decent bottle of beer or perhaps a good (very good) wine, or perhaps a double Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey shot. I plan on watching Logan’s Run at the appointed hour.
