    They say technology slows down for no one. I know it outruns my wallet. I figure its because my wallet isn't light enough yet.

    There have been 3 shooting incidents in the last few weeks(Orlando, Ft. Hood, Tualatin).

    What should I have written?

    Trifecta - Horse Racing

    In horse racing terminology, a trifecta is a parimutuel bet in which the bettor must predict which horses will finish first, second, and third in exact order. The word comes from the related betting term, "perfecta". A trifecta is known as a Tiercé in France and Hong Kong.
    [edit]
    Politics

    The term has been extended to the realm of politics, where it is used to describe a situation in which an executive of government appoints another elected official to a position and is also allowed to appoint his successor. This process can be chained together; in other words, the executive can appoint an elected official to a position, appoint another elected official to the other's previous position, and finally appoint anyone to the second official's position. The first permutation of this chain is called a "quadfecta".

    The trifecta system is seen by many as a loophole in democracy, because it allows an executive to essentially override a choice by the voters. This is mitigated by the fact that the system requires the agreement of all parties involved. Executives have been able to get around this by making the position offered a very financially lucrative or long-term one.
