It's January, what should we make of this event?

Bumps in the road.

As I see it, the lesson here is that the aliens responsible for this debacle have enormous ears.

"You have to ride it to know what's in it."

"If you like your slow safe descent you can keep your slow safe descent."

Yes, there are glitches in the system...

I was unaware of a problem till I saw it on the news this morning. Ahhhhhh...I am gathering our top aviation experts to evaluate the situation. MMMMmm...Ahhhhhhhh...They will submit a final report to me by Thanksgiving. This is inexcusable. I...Ahhhhhhhhh.... We take full responsibility and will correct the problem to be certain it can never happen again. But we, aaaaaaaaaaaaa.....shouldn't forget,...aaa,...and,.......aaa... Any further questions should be directed to the Pentagon.

Not that big a problem; it's being blown out of all proportion by racist Tea Party types.

"I didn't build that. Someone else made that happen."

"We must not let this crisis go to waste."

“Quick, throw a trillion dollars on it to put out the flames!”

We need to wait for the investigation findings, but I think it is fair to say that the baloon pilot acted stupidly.
