I suppose you could be right, however the comment that they are busy for the next four years constitutes discrimination based on political affiliation. Plain and simple.

As it turns out, Freeman's popularity is a mystery carefully cultivated by enigmatic owner Taavo Somer.

A trained architect, designer of the famed "My Boyfriend Is Out of Town" T-shirt, and a prankster who, legend has it, once laced toilet paper all over NoLIta, Somer is best known around downtown New York for knowing what people want — well before they do.

"Taavo is a pretty influential person in the downtown scene," said friend and fan Eleanor Lembo, a partner in Earnest Sewn jeans who shares office space with Somer.

Yet for all his connections and trend-spotting abilities, there are no pictures of Somer to be found anywhere online; he would not be interviewed by The Post, nor would he agree to photographs inside his restaurant.

Absolutely. But that's not illegal, nor should it be in my opinion. Freedom of association and all that. Unlike the left, we shouldn't need to run to the all-powerful government when somebody does something we don't like.
