Media: Arafat over CSI

As my wife is a CSI addict, I can only laugh that CBS is now issuing apologies for interrupting the last five minutes of CSI: NY with the news of Arafat's death. As of now she is strongly dedicated to the original series, and sees the Miami and NY versions as something less than pure, but geez, I'm just glad Buffy the Vampire Slayer isn't still on. If WB had interrupted Buffy for Arafat, we'd have had a small riot on every college campus in the country.

we'd have had... subjunctive past perfect? any other English majors want to help me w/ that one?
