Two players on the Swiss team are Kosovo-Albanian. They had to move to Switzerland when the Serbs began their ethnic cleansing (genocide) on their people. When the Swiss played the Serb team, Serb hooligans chanted “Kill Albanians”during the game and were photographed wearing jerseys emblazoned with the face of Ratko Mladic, the Serbian general convicted last year of genocide and crimes against humanity for overseeing the ethnic cleansing of Muslims and Croats from half of Bosnia.

The infographic in Jonathan Chait's article is so complex you'll need a university education to understand it. I don't.

Rep. Jordan shouldn't worry. Didn't we already have a Speaker with experience in sexual predation of wrestlers?

It doesn't prove that government is incompetent. It proves the GOP is.
