The Flick -- A term used by air traffic controllers to describe a mental model representing the current and future positions of air traffic in a section of airspace. Controllers visualize the paths of multiple aircraft in terms of position, altitude, trajectory and speed. Controllers also refer to this as "having the picture." But the picture moves -- like a movie -- hence the term “the flick.”

Krugman -- Fill in the Blank
I've run out of superlatives. Just when I think he can't get any better...
Galt, Gold and God
"And Mr. Ryan is one of those devotees (of Ayn Rand). True, in recent years, he has tried to downplay his Randism, calling it an “urban legend.” It’s not hard to see why: Rand’s fervent atheism — not to mention her declaration that “abortion is a moral right” — isn’t what the G.O.P. base wants to hear."
That's God and Galt in one paragraph. And then he takes on Gold. Just go read it.
