Adding girth to the adage that whosoever writes for Philebs will one day get paaaaiiiiid (but not by Philebrity), let’s add Citizen Mom aka Amy Z. Quinn to the list. This Thursday, Mom’s new column will debut in the City Paper, thereby ringing in a second columnist destination (after IcePack, of course) to read shit you’ve already read on the Internet in the previous 48-72 hours. For that real juice on time, choosey choosers will hit up Ame’s Twitter stream, which is chock full of voyeuristic value for momblog fetishists. In an email blast just now, Ma addressed the very real worry of, well, what the fudge this column will be, like, about:

The plan is for the column to run weekly, and not many subjects will be off limits. Please be part of the conversation by sending me ideas, tips, secret plans, gossip, or anything else you’d like to whisper into Mom’s ear.

Here’s one: Compare and contrast your continued participation in the travesty that is Phawker with the Palin family’s penchant for keeping unwanted or mentally challenged children. Hiyo! Did I just think that or say that?
