Trump Waits While Lawrie Celebrates

Scottish golfer Paul Lawrie has been given the go-ahead to construct a golf resort
and housing development on greenbelt land in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.Yes, that's the same Aberdeenshire where Donald Trump had been fighting a losing PR battle to build his own modest tribute to golf real estate late last year.
And, irony of ironies, the Aberdeenshire Council was the body that approved Lawrie's project, meaning the infrastructure services committee had to give its okay to the project. That is the very same committee that flatly refused to pass Trump's plan to extensively alter environmentally sensitive areas for his project.
To add even more wry note to the irony, because Lawrie's project is on greenbelt land (although not reportedly environmentally sensitive land), the Scottish Parliament must give its final blessing.
The same Scottish Parliament that is now mulling over Donald Trump's bid.
Life is always fascinating and often flummoxing.
