How about this?: The American people are being trapped by their leaders; as of "April Fools and Eggmen" states, "take the bait. . ." (which, IMO is a reference to sacrificing much for 'security'). Look at the 3rd line from the end: The ringside seat refers to viewers of CNN and such. How does that sound? |

This seems to me to have rather a political bent (please humour mr): rest assured they're weighing words in sympathetic ink, and they don't waste their time suspending disbelief. they face the facts with thinking caps they map out and display, but that's not the only way.
"sympathetic ink is statements from the white house spokesman, for example; "disbelief" may refer to the public (faith in W. Bush's war) and not wasting time suspending it refers to getting to action before we can take it all in for consideration, and the next part refers to planning (mapping) out a war; "charities and remedies, almost as much as modesty" refers to the U.S "generosity", and haughtiness; "take the bait", speaking to the American public? Does any of this make sense, or am I way off? Could it be (also) about media as a mouthpiece? |

I rather inferred this as a reference to journalists. I'm not sure it's "roll down your toes", but perhaps (car) window/s. Being aware of a shark on the hill may be giving up for the night so as to sleep, whilst another paparazzi journalist waits for any action so as to get a candid photo-shot. |
