Quick Takes to return -- this time as a blog

Zay N. Smith, whose Quick Takes column was one of the first casualties of the never-ending shrinkage of the Chicago Sun-Times, is coming back -- as a blogger. That's the good news reported this morning by ex-Sun-Times columnist (and now blogger extraordinaire) Robert Feder. According to Feder, Smith will resurrect Quick Takes on May 7, joining the team of bloggers on the WBEZ 91.5 Chicago Public Media site. I'm looking forward to the three posts a week Feder says that Smith is expected to post. Hopefully the Yellowstone Supervolcano will remain dormant until Smith is fully settled in the Blogosphere.
