Breakfast Links

June 19 is the 170th day of the year. On this day in 1912 the eight-hour work day was established. Today is Juneteenth - a day to celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation.

* After Downing Street: 'It's Impeachment Week in Wisconsin's Capitol City - and County - as Impeachment Coalition Introduces Resolutions"

* TCT: Hundreds rally for Vang Pao

* WISC: School Board Drops New School's Name, OKs Teacher Contract; Controversy Continues Over New School's Name

* Opey: "Finally, the board made the proper decision. It is a bit unnerving that it took a further criminal indictment to swing the vote to the side of the nameÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s removal."

* WSJ: "A plan to reduce crime in Madison by limiting the number of Downtown liquor licenses is emerging from six months of review, riddled with criticism from businesses and property owners."

* TDP: A rash of lewd and lascivious behavior in Madison?

* MadCrime101: "Citizens are encouraged to be alert - and heck, if you see some jerk creepily rubbing one out in public and he doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t look too dangerous (especially if his pants are around his ankles and he is far enough away), put your camera phones to use."

* WSJ Editorial: Extend benefit to domestic partners

* MJS: Wisconsin has its share of ticks; State among 10 with most Lyme disease cases, thanks to deer population (hat tip to Claire)

* Aversion: Punk Planet, the magazine that looked at underground issues, politics and art from an adult standpoint, is closing its doors after its next issue.
