Reborn, born again, recycled, all seems the same to me. There’s a baby maker in Foutainhall, Scotland - near Edinburgh, who makes, well, um, babies. Except her babies are not real. For some, they are too much like real babies. They are crafted in vinyl and have become quite popular with collectors and nostalgic grandparents, not to mention parents who have lost their little ones.

I’m not buying it. A plastic baby can’t replace a real baby. Still, these babies are painted over several times to create the newborn skin feeling. They have mohair (not sure what that is) and eyelashes (I know what they are). The babies are also weighted to feel as heavy as a human baby.

So, why don’t people who buy these babies try the adoption thing? There are children looking for parents. Can you say India and China? Why would anybody want a plastic doll when they could have a living doll in need of a real parent? Our planet is crowded enough. Why recycle babies?

Our last question is if these babies need green diapers or not. Guess not, right?

The Donald as they like to call Donald Trump wants to create a $2 billion playground golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland, home of golf. He got environmentalists and one very stubborn farmer, to stand in his way.

Trump wants to bring his New York style development plans to an environmentally sensitive stretch of coastline, a legally protected site of scientific interest and wants to develop the world’s greatest golf course. His argument is that “people won’t play a course if it is environmentally harmful. They don’t like it, they don’t feel good about it and they won’t play it”. Do I really have to bet my money on that lie?

Just for the record, the local farmer who refused to sell his land, rejected on a $690,000 offer. Is he holding out for more?

It’s a tough call to choose between the land of scientific interest that is home to some of the country’s rarest wildlife, including skylarks, kittiwakes or badgers and the two golf courses, 900 timeshare apartments, 450-bed hotel and 500 luxury homes. Right?
