China's Nine-Day Traffic Jam Tops 62 Miles

Posted by samzenpus on from the living-on-the-road dept.

A traffic jam on the Beijing-Tibet expressway has now entered its ninth day and has grown to over 62 miles in length. This mother-of-all delays has even spawned its own micro-economy of local merchants selling water and food at inflated prices to stranded drivers. Can you imagine how infuriating it must be to see someone leave their blinker on for 9 days?

    That's the only time in my life that I have been embarassed by Texas (and particularly for some of my extended family who were part of the problem).

    What about the time we provided a two-term President?
