  • Speedy cars don’t always have to cost you an arm and a leg

    Some of us like having fast cars. That’s just a fact. But the reality is that most of us right now can’t afford a new Camaro or FR-S fresh off the lot.

  • Reality TV junkie confesses addiction

    My name is Angie; I am a reality TV junkie.  I haven’t found that particular support group yet, but when I do, I’ll be glad to share the information with my readership, as I am probably not the only one on campus that needs a place to be heard and healed from this disease.

  • Letter to the editor

    Dear Editor, Thanks for printing the recent letter-to-the-editor (April 11, 2013). Didn’t think you would ... but you did! Publishing my “critical” opinions shows the East Tennessean believes in freedom of speech! Let’s pray the day will never arrive where America has no freedom of the press.
