Mid-morning Cup o' Joe

Finally dragged myself back from vacation and what do I find?

• Heidi Toth does a yeoman's effort on the ethics referendum push and promptly tells me to "you can have the political beat back."

• Pig and Webb take a swing at the same thing. This is worth noting:

Often, laws on complex subjects created by ballot initiative contain the seeds of their own destruction because of flaws and overreaching in the statute language.

• Rep. Jason Chaffetz and the TSA face off on who exactly is the Emperor with the New Clothes.

• Mitt Romney comes into Utah to tap the money well again, though this time it's for others. Not that a little goodwill doesn't hurt for when he wants to tap it again for himself.
