    TIME Magazine's Mike Allen outlines a "five-point plan" posited by President Bush's new chief of staff Josh Bolten to "rescue" the Bush presidency in magazines to hit newsstands Monday.

    The five key points include:

    Deploy Guns and Badges

    Under the banner of homeland security, the White House plans to seek more funding for an extremely visible enforcement crackdown at the Mexican border.

    Make Wall Street Happy

    In an effort to curry favor with dispirited Bush backers in the investment world, the Administration will focus on two tax measures already in the legislative pipeline to please investors.

    Brag More

    White House officials.... are planning a more focused and consistent effort to talk about the [Medicare] program's successes after months of press reports on start-up difficulties... and highlight any glimmer of success in Iraq....

    Reclaim Security Credibility

    Presidential advisers believe that by putting pressure on Iran, Bush may be able to rehabilitate himself on national security, a core strength that has been compromised by a discouraging outlook in Iraq.

    Court The Press

    Administration officials said [new White House chief of staff Josh Bolten] believes the White House can work more astutely with journalists to make its case to the public.... His first move... was to offer the press secretary job to Tony Snow of Fox News... who served George H.W. Bush as speechwriting director.

    More tips to rescue the admin

    Rims

    Any old jalopy can be transformed into a pimped-out machine shiny new set of rims, the bigger, the better -- spinners only.

    More Cowbell

    self explanatory

    Ninjas

    Some would say Chuck Norris in this spot, but let's be honest. This is f-cking Ninjas we're talking about. NINJAS. Not Samurai, not Green Berets. NINJAS. We talking bout' NINJAS.
