Michelle Malkin,on the ball as ever, has done her homework. From her latest column (H/T: NRO) come these revelations about those hard-working UAW guys: "…the UAW owns and operates Black Lake Golf Course — a “championship caliber” course opened in 2000 that’s part of a larger “family education center” and retreat nestled in 1,000 acres of property in Onaway, Mich. ...While membership in the union has plummeted, the UAW retains assets worth $1.2 billion...
