Police in Wangate, New Jersey — just northwest of New York City — are trying to determine who fired a bullet that struck CNN commentator Lou Dobbs’ farm home as his wife stood nearby.

State police Sgt. Stephen Jones says Dobbs’ wife and driver were outside the home Oct. 5 when they heard the gunshot. Jones says the bullet didn’t penetrate the siding and fell to the ground outside. It is small-game hunting season in Wangate, but no hunters were seen in the area.

Bea Arthur was a “Golden Girl” until the end.

The actress, who lost her battle against cancer at age 86 last April, willed a $300,000 donation to New York’s struggling Ali Forney Center, an organization supporting the city’s homeless lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth, the center’s Executive Director Carl Siciliano revealed to CNN on Thursday.

Siciliano said he knew of Arthur’s plan to include the center in her will, but never knew the amount. He had been struggling to keep the doors of the shelter open. The organization assists more than 1,000 teens each year, providing shelter for those who had to leave home “for being who they are,”Siciliano says.

The tall, deep-voiced Bea was best known for her sharp comedy delivery, and was the winner of two Emmy Awards for her starring roles on classic sitcoms Maude and The Golden Girls.

Wal Mart Funeral Sale
Wal-Mart wants you dead, so they can sell your loved ones a coffin. You heard right, my Little Crunch Bites. The world’s largest retailer, is getting into the funeral business. Last week, the company began selling caskets and urns on it’s website.

The Associated Press writes: Prices range from $999 for models like “Dad Remembered” and “Mom Remembered” steel caskets to the mid-level $1,699 “Executive Privilege.” All are less than $2,000, except for the Sienna Bronze Casket, which sells for $3,199.

Wal-Mart will even deliver the coffins directly to the funeral home of your choice within 48 hours of purchase. There is one catch: They won’t accept returns unless the product has been damaged in transit. So make sure Grandpa’s really dead before you order!
