blogger doesn't want visitors to be able to see what he's written.

If so, he's certainly succeeded.

Whenever I find a site where the designer has chosen "prettiness" over
legibility, it's nice to know that Ctrl-A will put all the text on the page in
reverse-video for reading....r

I achieve the same effect by using the mouse to highlite all the text,
but your way is much easier.

The original source seems to be here:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0115393/board/thread/162262976

The author displayed some evidence of having known Brubaker in other
posts on the same message board, so I guess I'm provisionally
convinced.
