It was the Democrats’ turn this week. While it’s too soon to know whether President Obama got any bounce from the convention, our own Gov. Deval Patrick got rave reviews for his speech. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama’s DNC dress is going into mass production, so that ought to jumpstart the economy.

We take a look today at the controversial decision by Federal Court Judge Mark Wolf to allow convicted murder Richard “Michelle” Kosilek a sex change operation. And of course, we do Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down on the issues of the week.
