The launchpad front page was down for a chunk of the weekend, so it did explode.
Given the Launchpad timeout constraints, I don't think we can
reasonably expect the blog to return in the subsecond time required.
Perhaps a background task to refresh the feed regularly, and Launchpad
loads it from local disk?
