Some RSS feeds Result in Encoding issue

[zigsphere]

RSS feeds such as http://www.arrl.org/news/rss throw error:

Hi @zigsphere
thanks for the issue!
Unfortunately, I don't have much spare time to work on it right now.

It might be an issue with storing the data in the sqlite database (around https://github.com/gehaxelt/python-rss2irc/blob/master/feedupdater.py#L77)
