Zay N. Smith is a journalist for the Chicago Sun-Times. Smith played a key role in the 1978 Mirage Tavern investigation, in which undercover reporters operated a bar in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood while hidden photographers took pictures of city officials accepting bribes. In recent years, he has become most famous for his daily column, Quick Takes, a hodgepodge of sarcastic political commentary, random pieces of trivia, and unusual news stories from around the world. His Sunday column, QT on the Blogs, focuses entirely on information gleaned from blogs, and Smith himself has become very popular in the blogosphere, especially among liberals (though Smith's column satirizes extremists on the both sides of the political spectrum).
Smith's daily column has many running features, which include the following:
- We Have Seen the Present, and It Does Not Work
- The Not Me Decade, in which everybody else is responsible for everything
- Modern Education + the Criminal Mind
- QT Modern Corporate Gibberish of the Week
- The Case for Zero Tolerance of Modern School Administrators
- Supermarket Headline of the Month
- QT Grammar R Us Seminar on the English Language
