Hmmm. Isn't that what I'm doing with the newsfeed "catigorizing". The problem is that I can't figure out how to get an output news feed from the category.
Alas, no. Incoming feeds are kept separate from the rest of the content on your site (so users can't leave comments on RSS posts or find individual items via your search engine, for example).
I don't have blogging installed. Is this a feature of the blogging and blogging api?
It's a feature of the blog node type, so yes, you'd need to enable the blog module (but not blogapi, which lets you post into your site from an offline editor such as ecto or w.bloggar, i.e., it has nothing to do with incoming RSS in this case). As an experiment, try this:
Enable the blog module. Go into your blocks admin console. Enable a block for the Google feed. Now call up a page on which the block is enabled. The block should list the 10 most recent posts from the feeds - and have a small blue "b" next to each item. Click on the "b" next to an item and you'll get a blog-entry form, with a title and description (pulled from the RSS) already filled out. Assign it to a particular category, make sure it's set as published and hit submit. You should now have an item in that category, which means you'll have an RSS feed. The URL in the RSS feed will actually be to the item on your site, but since the description will have a link to the actual item on the other site, your readers will still be able to get there without first going to your site (on the plus side, having a link to your site means they will also be able to comment on the item on your site; think of MetaFilter or Fark).

I run tripolimn.org, a web site for our local High Power
Rocketry club.
I have set up a google news RSS feed to find news articles on several different terms like "model rocketry". Unfortunatly, the
articles are
not always usefull.
From these google RSS news feeds, I would like to aggregate them in
Drupal, select only pertinent articles by "categorizing" them into
another news
category, then generate a RSS news feed from that category.
Anyway to create this RSS feed?
