Default HELP: out-of-square door, weather stripping

'k, got my power bill for last month: $560.

Unacceptable.

I went to replace the weatherstripping on my metal entrace door. It's
the kind with a saw kerf in the jamb.

Afterwards, I still see see a big gap in the lower thrid of the door.
It's becasue the house has moved and the door jambs are not square.

Think 'simple shear': the rectangular door opening has been deformed a
bit, so there's a 1/4" gap on the lower third of the latch side.

Any ideas as to how to properly weaher strip this door?

As always, thanks a heap,

-Zz
