Voight-Kampff

Mr. Conner was kind enough to pass on --- a bit belatedly --- a test of the candidates in the most recent SF mayoral election. Most of my readers may find the questions very familiar. Our current mayor, it turns out, is not human, even though he knows what a tortise is.
They’re just questions, Gavin. In answer to your query, they’re written down for me. It’s a test, designed to provoke an emotional response.

Oh, I got you.

Shall we continue?

Sure.

You’re watching television. Suddenly you realize there’s a wasp crawling on your arm. How would you react?

My favored candidate, Mr. Tom Ammiano, is the only one who catches on.
