The church insists it’s an argument about religious freedom, not birth control. But, really, it’s about birth control, and women’s lower caste in the church. It’s about conservative bishops targeting Democratic candidates who support contraception and abortion rights as a matter of public policy. And it’s about a church that is obsessed with sex in ways it shouldn’t be, and not obsessed with sex in ways it should be.

In 1944, the US Secret Service created pictures of Hitler in disguises in case he tried to escape capture after the fall of the Nazi party. Hitler sneaking around in costumes is one of my new favorite things to think about.

This looks like a silly makeover montage.
