A form of government-operation whereby you are guaranteed "level" or "fair overall" treatment if you are generous with your "checks" to bribe local/state/federal officials, or if you are sufficiently rich (i.e., you have a large enough "balance" in da bank) that said officials feel obliged to make special allowances for you.
We may ostensibly have a "checks and balances" system, but it never seems to help out "da little guy" very much.

When a programmer submits a large code change Friday night before leaving on vacation that breaks the mainline build.
*Monday Morning
Developer: "There are a bunch of changes that broke the build; looks like Paul's changes from Friday night. It's pretty complicated, 32 files changed. We should let him know so he fix it."
Developer Lead: "No can do. He pulled a Vegas check in and is on vacation for next 2 weeks, we'll have to rollback the change."
