Nobody trusts the elite, and no one should. It's taken any claim to our trust and laid waste to it like Brian Stelter, who is a potato, lays waste to a Golden Corral ham tray.

-- Kurt Schlichter

Here's a fun story:

The Colorado Oil and Gas Association ordered some corporate clothing from North Face. (Which Paul Ryan used to wear constantly.)

North Face refused the order, stating that the Colorado Oil and Gas Association did not meet North Face's "brand standards."

You know, the list of bullshit a corporation claims to be its "values."

North Face didn't want to associate themselves with the petroleum industry.

So the Colorado Oil and Gas Association decided to really associate North Face with the petroleum industry.

Ironically, the jackets and almost every product The North Face produces and sells is made with nylon, polyester and polyurethane, all of which come from petroleum.

So, the Colorado Oil and Gas Association decided to have some fun with the situation. It bestowed its first-ever "Extraordinary Customer Award" on The North Face, saying it appreciates the company for its abundant use of oil and gas.

Dan Haley, who heads up the industry trade association, held a mock award ceremony that was more like a roast. The CEOs of oil and gas companies lampooned The North Face, pointing out that its parent company is even building a hangar at Centennial Airport for its private jet fleet.

"To have such a large percent of what they make, probably three-quarters of the mass they ship, is actually our product. So, it's hard to top the all-in nature of The North Face as a consumer of our product," said Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Oilfield Services.
