Hyperbole

So I see this headline in MSNBC and part of me says, really?
.

.
You're call sixty lousy miles of gridlock the worst traffic jam ever.
.
Hell I spent 7 1/2 hours once getting from the west side to San Diego (approx 120 miles).
.
EVERY WEEK-END in the spring the traffic from LA to Vegas backs up over 150 miles!


And this, dear ones, is the traffic coming INTO Los Angeles from the Colorado River during spring break Sundays. It is like this eastward over 200 miles - and you haven't even hit Banning yet - so you have another 50 + miles of traffic going west.
.
Eddie and I know. We have been stuck in it.
.
Then I think. How screwed up am I to be proud of LA traffic?
