We've contacted Kerik's attorney to verify the authenticity of the page, but no matter who set it up or why, there's no doubt that it features a lot of photos of Kerik, his dog, his wife, his children, and his grandchildren. Also of Caroline Manzo, of Real Housewives of New Jersey fame, who famously declared of her family, "We are not The Sopranos!"

Though the profile page says the account was created in June 2008, most of the 374 photos in the "Pro" (i.e. paid) account were uploaded in one big batch on September 18, 2009, with another round going up on October 8, less than two weeks before Kerik was jailed by a federal judge for leaking confidential information about his case to a reporter. We imagine that as Kerik geared up for a highly public trial, his team thought it might be a good idea to get photos of him as a family man, dedicated cop, and anti-terrorism official out there. Here's a selection of our favorites, but we highly recommend you check it out for a glimpse of Kerik through the decades. Especially the Seventies. The Seventies look awesome.

CLARIFICATION: Some commenters think Kerik is doing a taekwondo, not karate, move in that photo. We have no idea, so we settled for "martial arts."

Leibovitz's commercial day rate is $250,000, according to New York magazine. We certainly hope taxpayers didn't pay her that much to document for posterity the fundamental adorableness of the First Family. Perhaps the Obamas, or Obama's campaign arm, footed the bill. Or maybe Leibovitz performed her duties gratis. That would have been especially admirable, however, seeing as how this picture was taken on September 1, one week before Leibovitz's deadline to repay the $24 million loan she owed to high-end artsharks Art Capital Group or lose possession of her photographic legacy. That deadline was eventually extended, but there must have been a lot on Annie's mind when this photo was taken.

—A banker who drank too much last night?
—A frat boy hazing victim?
—A banker hazing victim of a secret Wall Street banker frat?
—A publicity stunt?
—A never-before-seen half-man half-bull underwear monster?

Or what? Your explanations in the comments, please.

At around noon today, the same time Sgt. Dennis O'Connor, president of the Cambridge Police Superior Officers Association, gave his press conference trying to push back against perceptions that the Cambridge cops aren't exactly racially enlightened, Harvard student Seth Bannon spotted this cop pull up to a deli on Massachussetts Ave. in what appears to be his personal SUV with a hilarious license plate: WHY-TEE.

We asked Bannon, who first Twittered the picture, to tell us more:

I was eating breakfast at the Gourmet Express Market and Deli (1868 Mass Ave, Cambridge), when around NOON the black SUV pictured backed into that space and parked illegally. The police officer pictured exited the SUV, walked into the Deli, ordered a sub, got back into the SUV, and drove off. I took the picture as the officer was getting back into the SUV.

I'm not nearly as disturbed by the (entirely unnecessary) illegal parking job as I am by the utter crudeness of the plates, especially in the aftermath of the Gates debacle.

I've attached two additional photos I snapped. In one you can see the officer holding the delicious sub he purchased.

Cheers,

Seth Bannon
