I looked into this issue and I think feedparser is right here. I suppose that 
"-0500" is "US/Central", right? So here some code which uses a python timezone 
library (http://pytz.sourceforge.net/)

In [31]: import pytz
In [32]: from datetime import datetime
In [33]: from pytz import timezone

In [34]: utc = pytz.utc
In [36]: central = timezone('US/Central')

In [37]: loc_dt = central.localize(datetime(2012, 07, 30, 23, 20, 34))
In [38]: print loc_dt
2012-07-30 23:20:34-05:00

In [39]: print loc_dt.astimezone(utc)
2012-07-31 04:20:34+00:00

feedparser is returning the 9-tuple normalized to UTC. This is correct behavior.
