He discovered the grass is only greener here (it\u2019s blue in Kentucky), so he returned to again take charge of his 1954 green Hudson Hornet that has been in storage, refilled his pipe, and is ready to continue his smokin\u2019 ways. Here is what he recently told us at the Sports Paper.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16\" style=\"width: 483px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16\" alt=\"Bumerton sees all\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_.png\" width=\"483\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_.png 483w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_-300x290.png 300w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_-135x130.png 135w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_-85x82.png 85w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_-280x270.png 280w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_-145x140.png 145w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bumerton sees all<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Man, Big Dawg, I\u2019m fed up with the President. That guy may be the worse we have had in the White House since Jimmy Carter.\u00a0 And you voted for him \u2013 twice \u2013 as I recall, Big Dawg. What is wrong with you? The guy is weak, gets pushed around on the international stage, and is talking climate change the day the conservatives on the Supreme Court got their five-vote act together and killed off the Voting Rights Act. Not that climate change doesn\u2019t need to be discussed; it does. But c\u2019mon, he should be the first to speak up at the outrage the Supreme Court inflicted on minorities. He should stand up and fight back. For all I know, he was out playing golf when the news came down. He needs to lead. That is why guys like you, Big Dawg, voted for him. If he can\u2019t lead, he should get out of the way.\u00a0 Now go get me a tall latte. &#8230;\u00a0How did a young kid with tons of talent get to be one of the most hated guys in all of baseball. I\u2019m talking about A-Rod. He is a good case study for young kids who are determined to play as a professional in any sport. Don\u2019t do as he has done, please. Just play your game and keep quiet and keep away from the gambling casinos, the PEDs and just work hard. A-Rod has done one thing right \u2013 he\u2019s made a lot of money. Now he just needs to go away and have his fun. Or should I say, more fun.<\/p>\n<dl class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" id=\"attachment_16\" style=\"width: 493px;\">\n<dt class=\"wp-caption-dt\"><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"wp-caption-dd\">Bumerton sees all<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bumming around town with Bill Bumerton Bumerton is a retired Navy fighter pilot who had been missing in action for&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bumerton","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=355"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":359,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355\/revisions\/359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
