Your answer should be "shut up with the wise cracks you idiot." I was joking about disposing of HTML from a web page. Many here understood what you meant by your question.
My problem is that there are some websites that spew forth data at an
alarming rate that I need to pull the raw data back out -- and use it for
other nefarious purposes. That said, having a way to clean the grabbed page
and return it to something more useful (like a database) will make the
information useful to me -- not composed in some fashion by a government
web-site in a form they think should be digestable to the rest of "us."
Java. Not.

Java does a fine job of disposing of a website sometimes. You of course couldn't have meant disposing of the code that displays a webpage on that page's server and I knew that.
So if you want to see what I've done about extracting code fragments from web pages then look for pull-parser and MTML in the archives of this list. I created some handlers that pull portions of text, tag sets, out of text documents.

This is a great place to search the archives for topical information already discussed.
