Is there a way to block URL parameters?

I'm interested in blocking unnecessary URL parameters.
Some sites seem to use a lot of parameters associated with Google Analytics, but I'm unclear whether or how these can be blocked using NoScript.
I'm referring to the unnecessary list that looks sort of like this, at the end of a URL:
?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+name+%28Name
Any time a URL containing these specific parameters (any of the five: source, medium, term, content, campaign) is considered, I'd like NoScript (or some other addon) to strip out those parameters. I've found that, for whatever reason, my PC and internet connection run noticeably faster when I strip those particular parameters out. It can make the difference between actually viewing the resulting page, and timing out.
I'm sure other folks have other parameters they would like to block on some sites.
