Seems to me that even the people who do make money off their blogs are those who started them as a labor of love and that passion plus time made them successful.
If you could provide very rare, very high-interest content (say by planting an electronic listening device in the Oval Office or capturing and publishing photos of Simon Cowell being nice to someone or something), then there's a chance that you could one day get enough traffic to make money.
But short of that, I think blogging has approximately as much get-rich-quick potential as writing poetry.
(That's a long way of saying: Try the stock market instead. Oil futures, perhaps.)
