It seems there’s a parsing error on http://feeds.feedburner.com/alistapar…, feed_id 142. I’ve attached a screenshot. You’ll notice the odd tags (one of which actually looks like a link, the next two have garbled HTML in them), the fact that almost the entire article is a link, etc. The feed “validates” (http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?ur…) but does have some complaints.
This is actually not the first time I’ve seen this, but chalked it up to strangeness on the remote side. See stories "

this has been happening almost since I first subbed to it. But I never looked at the source.
I have the same issue. A List Apart puts “topics” in their feed via dc:subject, but its content is a cdata block of html text:
<subject>User Experience, <a href="<a%20href=" http: rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Link http//feedsfeedburnercom/topic/interaction-design">/topic/interaction-design</a>">Interaction Design, <a href="<a%20href=" http: rel="nofollow" target="_blank">/topic/user-research</a>">User Research, <a href="<a%20href=" http: rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Link http//feedsfeedburnercom/topic/application-development">/topic/application-development</a>">Application Development, <a href="<a%20href=" http: rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Link http//feedsfeedburnercom/topic/community">/topic/community</a>">Community]]></subject>
This is a pretty gross practice, but it shouldn’t break newsblur the way it does.
