Traffic Jam from Hell:

I thought I had it bad when I was stuck in traffic moving around Indianapolis and took an hour and a half to travel a handful of miles, but China makes my little travel problem laughable. Today's Washington Post reports on a traffic jam that has already lasted ten days and may not be cleared up in the next two weeks. Some truck drivers have been sitting in their cabs for up to five days.

The last big news out of China was that the country had overtaken Japan to become the second largest economy in the world. Welcome to the future, China. Ain't progress grand!
