It works fine for me but I didn't think rubbing that in would help you any.
I would suggest you clear your history and cookies in case it is space related.
The only thing I noticed specifically about that site was that my NoScript add-on blocks something to do with fonts on that website, but I don't know how that could be hurting you.
What I would suggest is try running your browser with the no add-ons option and see if it still bombs; if that works fine then you can assume it is a problem with an add-on to your browser.
Other idea is to try a proxy server. Since they tend to control scripts and cookies etc. just to see if you still lock up. But if that did work I don't know how it would help you other than at least providing you a roundabout way to see the site. Simply go to the proxy server, type Huffingtonpost.com in the address line in the middle of the page, and then click GO.
