It’s the first door on the left
: NY Times Public Editor Dan Okrent responds to all the talk about him blogging in the comments at Jay Rosen’s blog:

All: Interesting stuff, every bit of it. But please give me a little time to figure things out; I haven’t even found the bathroom yet.

Dan let me know in email that we’ll be seeing something from him in good time. And I replied that the good news is, your public awaits, Mr. Public Editor.

    Dearest Reader, before we get into this poem, I just
    want to say that I think our current President has
    done and is doing a great job. Maybe not perfect, but
    he has sought out and routed the murdering thugs who
    assaulted our shores and liberated multiple, millions
    of people from the hands of dictators. So, with that
    said, I give you, Spare Me.
    Spare Me,
    Spare me your frequent bowing and the prayers you
    claim are for peace
    While behind our backs you despise us and you dream of
    revenge in your sleep
    Spare me your Koran reading and your efforts to obey
    the five pillars
    For Allah has never been master of, those who hate and
    murder
    Spare me your frequent chanting and the wisdom you
    claim brings peace
    While your exalted state of mind allows you to commit
    war crimes, with bodies littering the streets
    Spare me your enlightenment and how you think you are
    one with creation
    For Shang-Ti called you to love, yet your deeds prove
    your damnation
    Spare me your chorus singing and the sermons that
    speak of peace
    While your prisons stay full from the vicims you kill
    and survivors can only weep
    Spare me your Holy Scriptures, for it has not changed
    your ways
    For Jehovah called you to love your neighbor, but this
    you have never obeyed
    Spare me your political speaches and the treaties you
    claim produce peace
    For the very same hands, push daggers in men, in order
    to stop their heart beat
    Spare me your laws and vast learning and how you think
    it will make us unite
    For peace will never be possible, when people desire
    to fight
    Spare me…..
