Submitted by ub on

Officials say today was the busiest travel day of the year nationwide, but they also warn that Wednesday will probably bring NYC to a grinding gridlock status, which is bound to go down in the traffic jam record-books.

Get ready, set and be prepared to not go anywhere this coming Wednesday as we see holiday gridlock like we've never seen before thanks to the triple play arrival of Justin Bieber, Barack Obama in Manhattan and The Annual Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting Spectacular on live TV.

We've all heard stories of people with positive attitudes who have beaten life-threatening diseases. But is there really healing power in positive thinking?
