As of yesterday I cannot connect to this site (204.153.26.245) using
Safari 5.0.6, OS X 10.5.8, over Verizon's DSL.
I cannot ping the site (10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received,
100% packet loss).
Traceroute ends at my router IP address.
This is the only site I apparently cannot contact using Safari. I can
connect to it using Internet Explorer 5.2.3 and Stainless 0.8.
So the problem would seem to lie within Safari. I have repaired
permissions, but the problem persists. How do I fix it?

This means your ISP is blocking UDP packets, usually done to 'make things secure form ev1l l334 h4X0rz' and messing up everyone who has a routing problem...
host 204.153.26.245
245.26.153.204.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer akamai-origin.tvguide.com.
I can only get partway to it and cannot ping it at all.

Clear your cache and history. Permissions have nothing to do with this.
I cannot think of anything else that would block Safari from accessing the site, unless some Parental Permissions thing has been enabled? I know you can block specific websites; I don't know if this will affect all web browsers or just Safari.
The ONLY time 'repair permissions' will ever fix anything is if you specifically get an error related to permissions immediately after an Apple update, either in the Finder as an actual error pop-up or in the Console.

Firefox 3.6.2.8 popped right to the site.

All my browsers were able to get to it. However a large number of networks block the UDP packets that ping and traceroute use, as a security measure. (They can be used in reconnaisance of networks, as well in some cases, used in DDOS-style attacks.)
