Mr. Obama, if that is his real name, can not tolerate animadversion

At home for most of July and August.

Scheduled for some more from mid-October and November - likely extending into Dec. Have used up the year’s hours, so any extra hours worked between now and Dec 31 are extra dollars.

what do you mean “used up the year’s hours”? i am sure you are working pretty much 12 hour days when you are working. does that mean you have been home and not needing to go into the ofc/work station for july-august? i am glad you have been able to be home with your family. the travel for protracted periods has to be very difficult.

Forgive me if I cast an aspersion
On Obama, an animadversion
Though his rhetoric’s grand
What he’s done to our land
To our freedom, is truly perversion

again with the consternation about the phrase talking about someone like a dog! honestly it has NOTHING in the world to do with muslims, it's a phrase in common parlance and people are acting stupidly about it.

that is a fact but it is absolutely irrelevant to this phrase. this phrase is commonly used and has nothing to do with muslims whatsoever. that would be like insinuating some slam on jews by using the phrase BRINGING HOME THE BACON! good grief!

He either means that he himself, or the project on which he is working have used up the budgetary hours allotted for this time period. So any more hours worked are at a premium rate and not covered under the original terms of the contract.

i guess michelle malkin isn’t a jimi hendrix fan. Someone recalled it was in the lyrics to stone free.

STONE FREE

EVERYDAY IN THE WEEK I’M IN A DIFFERENT CITY
IF I STAY TOO LONG PEOPLE TRY TO PULL ME DOWN
THEY TALK ABOUT ME LIKE A DOG
TALKIN’ ABOUT THE CLOTHES I WEAR
BUT THEY DON’T REALIZE THEY’RE THE ONES WHO’S SQUARE

HEY!
AND THAT’S WHY
YOU CAN’T HOLD ME DOWN
I DON’T WANT TO BE DOWN I GOTTA MOVE
HEY

STONE FREE DO WHAT I PLEASE
STONE FREE TO RIDE THE BREEZE
STONE FREE I CAN’T STAY
I GOT TO GOT TO GOT TO GET AWAY

ALRIGHT
LISTEN TO THIS BABY
A WOMAN HERE A WOMAN THERE TRY TO KEEP ME IN A PLASTIC CAGE
BUT THEY DON’T REALIZE IT’S SO EASY TO BREAK
BUT SOMETIMES I GET A HA
FEEL MY HEART KIND OF GETTIN’ HOT
THAT’S WHEN I’VE GOT TO MOVE BEFORE I GET CAUGHT

AND THE IS WHY, LISTEN TO ME BABY, YOU CAN’T HOLD ME DOWN
I DON’T WANT TO BE TIED DOWN
I GOTTA BE FREE
OWH!

I SAID
STONE FREE DO WHAT I PLEASE
STONE FREE TO RIDE THE BREEZE
STONE FREE I CAN’T STAY
GOT TO GOT TO GOT TO GET AWAY
YEAH OW!
TEAR ME LOOSE BABY

YEAH!
STONE FREE TO RIDE ON THE BREEZE
STONE FREE DO WHAT I PLEASE
STONE FREE I CAN’T STAY
STONE FREE I GOT TO I GOT TO GET AWAY
STONE FREE I GONNA LEAVE RIGHT NOW
STONE FREE DON’T TRY TO HOLD ME BACK BABY
STONE FREE GO ON DOWN THE HIGHWAY
STONE FREE OH YEAH BABY
STONE FREE GOT TO GOT TO GET AWAY
STONE FREE BYEBYE BABY

That was a trick question. “Male” cheerleaders don’t really exist.
