A wiser man than me said that humor is the means by which we distribute our pains and hurts so that they impact us less deeply. We only laugh at things that are painful.

In that light, making jokes of deaths and murders — so long as you view it that way — is in fact a healing process.

I just listened to this hilarious Gravel interview where he demonstrates how utterly clueless he is about the most fundamental of libertarian principles, the sovereignty of the individual.

I still have some respect for the guy, but it’s quite a stretch to call him a “libertarian”.

My father was murdered when I was young, and my mother died in a car accident right when I turned 18.

So yes, I’m going to be callous. And it’s wrong of me to be callous. But I know what she’s going through.

Indeed, what has the world become when you so callously make light of FOUR MURDERS. The woman had four family members murdered and you think it’s appropriate to make a joke like that?

Is GE seriously insulting my morals and standing as a human?

Jesus, what has the world become?

“Maybe Gravel killed her family.” — Very classy and oh so witty. You are really a credit to the human race.

Oh, wait! She doesn’t have any voicemails.

Shocker!

Becky says Gravel is still her hero, due to Munchausen/Stockholm Syndrome.

Becky would definitely win her Small Claims case, but Gravel wouldn’t pay anyway.

You don’t need a “contract.” If you have the emails, recorded phone calls, or anything like that, you can win. But you can’t make a deadbeat pay.

Apparently, but not by the Gravel campaign, I think.

On the LFV show, she just said that Gravel offered to pay for a ticket so she could be with her family.

This gets weirder and weirder.

Four of her family members were murdered?
