Latest political joke doing the rounds in Bishkek: As part of Russia's aid package to Kyrgyzstan's provisional government, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin sends a box to interim Kyrgyz leader Roza Otunbayeva. "To: Roza Isakovna. From: Vladimir Vladimirovich." Otunbayeva opens the box and, to her surprise, finds a bicycle inside. But there are no handlebars. She calls up Putin and asks where the handlebars are. He says the instructions are in the box, "You peddle and I'll steer."
