Right, sorry, i thought you were tweaking the feedparser itself...
haven't had coffee yet. :(

This should work, though there's certainly a more concise way.
for item in entries:
for key in ('modified_parsed, 'date_parsed', 'created_parsed'):
if item.has_key(key):
item_date = item[key]
break
if not isinstance(time_date, time.struct_time):
time_date = time.localtime()
Now for that coffee...
