INSTAPUNDIT’S AFGHANISTAN PHOTO-CORRESPONDENT, Maj. John Tammes, sends this photographic evidence that the Afghan economy is booming.

UPDATE: Humor is lost on some people, who apparently also didn’t put their cursor over the image . . . .

ANOTHER UPDATE: D’oh! Reader David Block emails: “Your suggestion about putting the cursor on the image does nothing for me in Firefox.” Dang. I didn’t realize that “alt” tags aren’t displayed in Firefox. You can read it if you click “properties,” but it doesn’t automatically appear as it does with Explorer. I didn’t notice.

MORE: Thanks to reader David White, who explained how to make it pop up in Firefox (title=”” is the tag).
