Oh, dude, that phrase "ride it like a government mule" probably came from the fact that government mules were used for heavy labor and had to be ridden hard. People just took that idea and ran with it, like, "Hey, let's ride this project as hard as a government mule!" It's just a funny way of saying to put in a lot of effort or work really hard on something.
