Three Questions for Dr. Adam Richards, Assistant Professor, Communication Studies

If you could argue with one celebrity, who would it be?
It is purported that Abraham Lincoln was an obsessive cat person, adopting many strays during his time in the Whitehouse while leaving his dog at home in Illinois. Unfortunately, Abe couldn’t have been more wrong in his preference. Obviously, dogs are superior to cats, a point that I would have been more than happy to argue with him.

What’s your favorite joke?
Where does Napoleon keep his armies? In his sleevies!
