RANDY ECONOMY: MY WORLD: Does this flu ever go away? I'm beginning to have my doubts. Anyway, it will be a Christmas I will want to forget!

Does this flu ever go away? I'm beginning to have my doubts. Anyway, it will be a Christmas I will want to forget!

I got the flu this holiday season, and it really sucks. I'm talking totally, Dude.

I did eveything I was "suppose" to do so I wouldn't get the flu.

I got BOTH the Regular Flu and H1N1 Flu shots during the past couple of months.

I avoided large crowds, used gallons of hand sanitizer, washed my hands 20 times a day, drank lots of fluids. I even avoided taking wine a St. Linus Catholic Church in Norwalk during Communion.

But, I have come down with the flu at the worst possible time, the week before, and after Chirstmas.

I am feeling a tad better tonight (Sunday), but have been fighting all of the "classic" flu crud, you know, the 103.6 fever, stomach up and down, the hot and cold chills, sore throat, body aches, incredible exhaustion. This flu has something for everyone. If you are a fan of the flu, you will "fall in love" with this lulu.

Since I have been in bed for 6 days now, I have been catching up on my television. Last night I plugged into the flick "Peral Harbor" with Matt Damon (lots of gore, and insight), the USC Emerald Bowl victory over Boston College, and tonight I am watching Clemson and Kentucky on the "Music City Bowl" from Nashville, TN.

Anyway, I just wanted to wish all you a great rest of the holiday week, and hope that Santa was good to you and your family. God willing, I will be able to see my brother Rick and sister in law Cindy, and my neice Allison (and her bf Ryan), and nephew Aaron on Tuesday night here. I will hopefully be reconnecting with one of my favorite childhood friends, Paul Sliwa for lunch this coming week as well.

Take It EASY, and BE HEALTHY!

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
