The White House released its visitors’ log, which was something people cared about whenever everyone was earnest about Transparency like a few months ago. Obama released 481 names—which is actually only a selection of all the visitors—but the list is like the Oscars Red Carpet + a visitors’ log from a prison in the 70s + a random list of names X 100! Names after the jump: Nobodies will be briefly glossed, while status-y names will written in bold, for such is their wont. MORE »

Do you have PRINCEMANIA? Can you stand the thought of the PRINCE OF WALES dining right here, in your very area code? Are you hungry for every detail one can scrounge about the royal visit to the White House?

Yeah, we’re the same. However, for the mildly bored and easily amused (do we know our audience or what?), the guest list for tonight’s “Social Dinner” (as opposed to State Dinner) provides the opportunity to play six-degrees-of-Nancy-Reagan (who’s going with Merv Griffin): From now on, Mr. Oscar de la Renta, Designer will have a connection with Lieutenant General Russel L. Honore, USA, Commanding General, First U.S. Army. Oh, and incase you were wondering about who won the date night lottery:

Ms. Mary Cheney
Ms. Heather Poe (Guest)

Miss Jenna Bush
Mr. Henry Hager (Guest)

The Honorable Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State
Mr. Gene A. Washington, Director of Football Operations, National Football League (Guest)

 Full list after the jump. (Ooooh, look! I broke an embargo!)
