The wind made it a tough day to wave around anti-tax signs Thursday, but Tea Party activists gave it a go.

About 750 people gathered Thursday at Lake Zorinsky park in West Omaha to greet the Tea Party Express bus tour. Three buses pulled in promptly before the 5 p.m. rally.

Many came several hours before, putting their folding chairs in prime position.

"We want change, only we want real change," said Linda Sparks, who wore tea bags as earrings and a red-white-and-blue ball cap.

A chorus line of people dressed like this doing "I'm a little teapot short and stout" - that would be awesome.
