Washington Post news feed crash
The Washington Post RSS feeds have some issues which involve empty articles in the index, causing the parser to crash. I've opened a ticket, and in the mean time the following code added to the recipe will work around the issue.
Code:
    def preprocess_html(self, soup):
        for tag in soup.findAll('font'):
            if tag['size']:
                if tag['size'] == '+2':
                    if tag.b:
                        return soup
        return None
