Kevin Drum Blogging
Drum’s blogging began in 2003, with his own blog, Calpundit. The Washington Monthly, which wanted a blog, hired Drum in 2004 to launch Political Animal.
Drum’s blogging is known to provide original statistical and graphical analysis, with special attention to oil supply, especially peak oil theory and related issues. His educational posts also spark debate. He is skeptical about flavor-of – the-month school reforms that “disappear within a few years to be replaced by some new silver bullet-and always without producing any scalable, practical, long-lasting results,” while he favors increased spending on intensive, early intervention. At Calpundit, he is credited with pioneering the trend of “Friday catblogging.”

The Iraq War
Drum supported the 2003 Iraq War in its early stages, but just before the United States launched its attack, he changed his mind. He said, “Before the war started I switched to opposition on practical grounds (i.e., that George W. Bush’s approach was incapable of accomplishing the goals it was meant to accomplish). Since then, I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that, in fact, I should have opposed it all along on philosophical grounds: namely that it was a fundamentally flawed concept and had no chance of working even if it had been competently executed.”
Lead and Crime
Drum has published a series of controversial articles with evidence that suggesting a correlation between crime and environmental lead, including the connection between the decline in US crime rates and the phaseout of leaded petrol. The theory was popularized by public health researcher Jessica Reyes and economist Rick Nevin; Drum’s thesis was criticized by Jim Manzi in January 2013; Drum has continued to document new evidence in support of the theory.
