Morning Links for June 21 2013

Morning Links wanders far and wide in search of the essential, peculiar and hilarious. The state budget has cleared the state Legislature and now heads to Gov. Scott Walker for approval and/or line item vetoes. The Journal Sentinel has Walker claiming $1 billion in total tax relief. Is it splits for Madison wild man Brett Hulsey and the Democratic Party? The State Journal explores the issue. The Taliban has offered to free a U.S. soldier it has held SINCE 2009. A 2,131-book-strong domino chain tumbles at the Seattle Public Library. Video on this Buzzfeed post.   OK, show’s over. What’s next for the Heat?
