Blog entries are bad sources and BLP violations.

I'm sorry, David, you are right. Let me rephrase that. I've never seen a blog entry that was reliable enough to be used as source material. These blog entries do not meat WP:RS, and any material derived from them should be eliminated.
I believe you mean "meet".
You might want to take a look at http://www.realclimate.org, http://bonddad.blogspot.com/, http://www.capitalweather.com/, http://www.juancole.com for a random list of reliably authoritative blogs off the top of my head. Their posts are consistently better informed and more accurate than general news reporting.
For example.
