You could also use the new $.unwrap method (jQuery 1.4+) applied to the contents of the anchor:
$('a').contents().unwrap();
Check an example here.
If you want to remove the link and leave the text:
$("a").replaceWith(function(){ return $(this).text() });

If you're using jQuery 1.4+, CMS provided an even shorter answer.
