Huh?

I thought newpaper publishers were supposed to be good communicators. If that's the case, publisher J. D. Davidson is certainly in the wrong profession. How's this for convoluted:

"When is the least anyone can do ever enough to save a child?"

This gobbledy-gook headlines Davidson's editorial about Joe Paterno. He says Paterno has a "gravely" voice. Does that mean he's a very serious guy, or does Davidson mean a "gravelly" voice?

When is the least any publisher can proofread ever enough to sound half-way intelligent?

"When is the least anyone can do ever enough to save a child?" The Paris News; November 13, 2011; p. 4A.

That's funny right there, I don't care who you are! You had your "witties" this morning, didn't you?!
