Boneqweesha Jones: "It's 'Late, Late, Late Night Conversations,' the television show for insomniacs who are tired of looking at those food-processing and real-estate infomercials. My special guest is Sis. Judy McBride, representing the esteemed members of the McBride family and their new book titled 'No Crying Towels for Christmas.' Judy, that title reads more like an affirmation."

Judy McBride: "That's right, 'Qweesha. I must credit my big sister Nurse Tootie for giving me the title. My brothers, Rudy and Cootie McBride, are also contributing writers. We published this book to encourage poor folk to survive the commercial aspects of the holiday season. It seems as if corporate America coaxes poor folk to shop until they drop into debt. Every holiday season, I'm forced to provide psychological counseling at reduced rates for many patients who become depressed because they are too poor to buy presents. Also, around this time of the year, depressed and desperate clients flood Rudy and Cootie's offices for financial and legal help."

Bonqweesha Jones: "I heard that the opinionated Nurse Tootie wrote a chapter about the new political climate."

Judy McBride: "Yes indeed, 'Qweesha. Nurse Tootie has developed the following labeling system to help people recognize various types of politicians:

"L.P.: Lying Politician

"T.P.: Trying Politician

"S.P.: Scandalous Politician

"H.P.: Honest Politician

"R.C.P.: Really Crazy Politician"

Boneqweesha Jones: "Look out for 'No Crying Towels for Christmas,' the McBride Family's new self-help book providing holiday cheer with a dose of reality."
