Corrupt Safari RSS databases

Okay, so I just had the decidedly unpleasant experience of having my Safari RSS feeds go INSANE. All kinds of corrupt data.

Errors like: Safari[20505] WARNING: Article id=3560's source_id has nonexistent source 250

Feeds showing the wrong data.

The answer turns out to be simple. Blow out the Safari RSS databases. But they aren't in ~/Library/Safari

They're in ~/Library/Syndication

Sigh. Guys, how about we move that folder into ~/Library/Safari?

Because finding the source of that error kinda sucks.
