Deep in the Heart of Texas

Congratulations are in order for former Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of the Great State of Texas who "earned" a three-year prison sentence on money laundering charges.

Ol' Tom, a former standout on "Dancing With The Stars." He has earned my first "Political Pirate of the Year Award" for 2011.

Image by Steve Rhodes via FlickrDeLay, who was forced to step down as majority leader in 2005 after he was indicted on the state charges, has long denied any wrongdoing. He is appealing his conviction. I guess you can say he is trying to "de-lay" the inevitable, a long term in jail.

Texas State Judge Pat Priest sentenced DeLay earlier today for the three-year term on conspiracy, and then accepted 10 years of probation in lieu of a five-year prison term on the money laundering charge.

So, congrats Tom! Your crimes and misdeeds have earned a "place" in my heart for this new year that isn't even 11 days old.

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.”
