Bumming around town with Bill Bumerton<\/h1>\n

Bumerton is a retired Navy fighter pilot who had been missing in action for several years while he traversed the globe looking for greener grass. 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 had been in storage, refilled his pipe, and is continuing his smokin\u2019 ways. Here is what he recently told us at the Sports Paper.<\/p>\n

Hey Big Dawg, I told you so. The man you voted for President twice can\u2019t pull the trigger on what needs to be done and now the credibility of our country is going down the toilet. You draw a red line in the sand and then keep moving the line every time your bluff is called. That is what the President has done. So now he\u2019s gone political. He\u2019s asking others to put their credibility on the line and vote on what to do. Man, it\u2019s a good thing he was not President in the early 1940s when Pearl Harbor was struck. You have to be decisive, right or wrong. When somebody does something so horrible that the universe gets nauseated you don\u2019t need to take weeks while you decide what to do, if anything, and then finally pass the buck to others. Do something.\u00a0 By the time he acts everybody will have forgotten what it was that nauseated them. \u2026 The high school football season is just about upon us and I see now the Kitsap Sun has asked you to be a regular member of the weekly Guest Guesser. Man, that is a mistake. You don\u2019t know what end is up, how do they expect you to add anything? You don\u2019t even have a coin to flip to make your picks. You are in trouble big time Big Dawg. \u2026 Former heavyweight boxing champion Tommy Morrison died at the age of 44. Such a tragedy. That guy could really punch hard. He beat George Foreman when big George was making his first comeback after being a pastor to kids in Houston. I still think, though, George could have won that fight. Every time he had Morrison hurt he, like our President, couldn\u2019t pull the trigger to end it. But then again, George was about 100 years old by then. Morrison wasted what could have been a great boxing career with his nightlife. Sad. It\u2019s never good when we lose somebody so young, no matter why. \u2026 You know who Johnny Manziel reminds me of? Broadway Joe. Although I think Manziel is a little more edgy than Joe Namath was. Namath was just a good time Charlie. Manziel seems to speak and do things without any forethought. I can\u2019t imagine Manziel not being in trouble. \u2026 I see you wrote something about the celebration of life held Saturday for Myrt Kressin. She was something, a great athlete and great human being. Too bad the good ones die and the bad ones, me and you, still hang around. We can\u2019t afford to lose too many more like her that is for sure. \u2026 Let\u2019s go for a ride in the Green Hornet and forget all of this. It\u2019s Labor Day and you and I need to find someplace where we don\u2019t have to labor. Of course, you pay for the gas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
