Cruising around Los Angeles in a black-cherry model with optional $995 "ground effects" (attachments to make the car appear lower), I patiently waited for a thumbs-up.

Move over, Kabbalah, there's a new sect in show biz. As JON HEDER, who plays a geeky Idahoan in the teen sleeper Napoleon Dynamite, explains, "Dude, it's cool to be Mormon."

His latest book, Dude, Where's My Country? , has been on the German best-seller lists for more than 30 weeks. The idea that this renegade could galvanize U.S. opinion and boost the Democratic ticket holds a certain appeal for Europeans. Bush is so unpopular in Europe, says French legislator Pierre Lellouche, that "the Democrats...
