UPDATE 6 p.m. central time WASHINGTON--Reports from the London press that presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) will arrive in England on July 18 are not accurate, the Sun-Times has learned. Look for him to arrive at a later date. Reports that the Obama overseas Trip will be bookended with European stops NOW are not right as I write this. Based on new intelligence, here's what is shaping up. I have been reporting from a reliable Israeli connected source that Obama is already booking appointments in Israel and will be there July 22 and 23. Stories from French and German news outlets put Obama in France and Germany on July 24 and 25 (those dates may be flipped). That leaves two countries to account for, England and Jordan. Common sense would put a Jordan stop adjacent to the Israeli visit, since the countries are neighbors. So by elimination and logic, that would put London at the end. END UPDATE ...

Ever since John McCain caught the Grand Old Party elephants with their trunks down by announcing Alaska's Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice president choice, his desperate apparatchiks have been frantically flacking two kinds of information: "mis-" and "dis-." They have been trying to convince you that she is excellently prepared to be one failed heartbeat away from being America's commander-in-chief because she recently had a cup of coffee in Kuwait, her first Trip outside the United States. Not with Mideast leaders of course, but with Alaska's National Guard unit deployed there. She is their "commander," they say. Never mind that she wasn't in command of anything the guard was doing there - real Army generals do that. Also, McCain's spinners gush about her experience to be America's chief executive. Just 22 months as a governor, and six years as a mayor of a tiny town called Wasilla. None of that explains why McCain chose her, of course. Sarah Palin was McCain's ultimate feel-good selection. Which is to say: Choosing her made McCain feel good about himself. Think about the McCain we know. He was always happiest performing as a self-styled courageous maverick. Fearlessly bucking his party's entrenched leaders. Boldly standing up for his heartfelt convictions. Yet, in the days before announcing his first choice, he had caved in to his party's conservative powers and zealots by reluctantly turning away from his clear first choice - the slim ...
