It's been a long time since I've been to weather.com (because of
the irritating popups, and overuse of graphics and applets), but
I do seem to recall the x10.com popups being the root cause.
Hmm...checking...
  [brad@wml brad]$ grep x10 /etc/hosts
  127.0.0.1       ads.x10.com

Yep, probably was x10.com. :)  Great technique for killing banner
ads and cross-site doubleclick-style tracking.

Even the local paper?  That's really unfortunate.
