How do you parse the rss feeds?

That part is a big hack...I have a ruby script that generates an s-expr of the feed, and work from that:

       (each i (read (tostring (system (string "ruby bench.rb " r!url))))
           (add-post (alref i 'title) (alref i 'link) r!league))

There is a function (xml->xexpr) in PLT scheme which could also generate an s-expr of the rss feed.

I had trouble figuring it out ...

If you had a URL for an RSS feed, how would you get an s-expr containing all the links and titles in the items?
