I finally had time to look at this.
Most of your links from the RSS feed work normally, but occasionally a link like this:

Code:

http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2010/10/24/an-illusion-of-treatment.html?sid=101

is sent off to a link like this:

Code:

http://www.dispatchpolitics.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2010/10/24/copy/an-illusion-of-treatment.html?adsec=politics&sid=101

resulting in the problems you see. (Don't you love the political ad season!)
This is done by adding a <meta http-equiv="refresh"> tag to the code.
Add this to your recipe to prevent it:

Code:

remove_tags.append(dict(name = 'meta', attrs = {'http-equiv': 'refresh'}))
