ICYMI: Fading circus; Crowley fail; bigger Macs; spilled Skittles

Author and TV personality Monica Crowley found it’s really hard getting a job in national security, especially after CNN reported dozens of instances of plagiarism in her 2012 book.

Bloomberg News reported that the Mac Jr. will have only one patty and no middle bun — don’t you call that, you know, a cheeseburger? — and the Grand Mac will be about 1½ times the size of the original, and will weigh in at 860 calories.

A Wisconsin sheriff posted on Facebook that “hundreds of thousands of Skittles” were spilled on a rural highway, and it was unclear how they got there.

A spokeswoman for candymaker Mars told the Associated Press that the candies had been destined for destruction because they lacked the signature “S,” and the company is investigating the spill.
