Guarding the U.S./Kiribati border

[KamaAina]

pronounced "ki-ri-BAHSS", it is a group of coral atolls some 1200 miles from Hawai'i, thus making it our nearest neighbor (California, by contrast, is 2400 miles away!) Population is around 20,000; no word on whether it was part of Bush**'s "Coalition of the Killing", er, "Willing".

This is serious! There's an i-Kiribati in the very next cubicle right now! He must be stopped before he helps any more of our consumers with their finances!!

1. Ever read "Sex Lives of Cannibals"?

It's a great book by a guy who spent a year in Kiribati. :D

2. Former Gilbert Islands

"Kiribati" or Ki-ri-BAHSS is how you say "Gilberts" in Gilbertese. Same with Kirimati or Ki-ri-MAHSS the former Christmas Island.
