silly = daffy? takes jabs = jokes about? birther = ?

What the hell does Clinton have to do with it?

I don't know why you want a definition of silly, but daffy would work, although it's a poor substitute. Look up both words, silly and daffy are not necessarily equivalent.

Birthers are a segment of reactionary Americans (reactionary meaning extremely conservative, in terms of politics) who claim that Mr. Obama was not born in the United States and therefore not eligible for the office of President. This has lately been revived by Mr. Donald Trump, a would-be Republican nominee for President in 2012, who demanded that Mr. Obama produce his birth certificate.

To take jabs at someone means to ridicule them. It is a figure of speech taken from the sport of boxing, in which a boxer will frequently jab at the opponent--make quick, straight blows at them--in order to keep them off balance until a heavy blow can be landed.

Are you happy now, or do you want to whine some more about people not responding quickly enough to suit you?

Why has this thread ignored by everyone?

Well, when i get up in the morning (usually very early), there are dozens of new threads and thousands of new posts. It's easy to miss them, and most people posting here are probably on a daily schedule of GMT -5 hours, -6 hours, -7 hours or -8 hours (i.e., eastern time zone, central time zone, mountain time zone, Pacific time zone). So, when it's ten o'clock in the morning in London, it's 5:00 a.m. in New York, 4:00 a.m. in Chicago, 3:00 a.m. in Denver and 2:00 a.m. in Los Angeles.

Of course, it's not just Americans and Canadians who respond. But they make up the majority here. If you post a thread which does not get a response, and you have the opportunity, figure out what time it is in the United States and Canada, and come post "bump." That's known as "bumping up a thread" to bring it to the attention of other members.
