If the Opie and Anthony show was still on the air, there are some topics they would be sure to talk about. Over the past year and some months since August, 2003, Anthony has said over and over "Damn, I wish we were on the air!" Besides the times he's said it for what it is, he's said it when reading the news of the day.  Arnold  running for/winning the governorship of California, the war in Iraq, Bush (and his prominent junk) landing on the carrier, finding Saddam, all the people who passed on (Dr. Smith, Art Carney, Buddy Ebsen, Bob Hope, Buddy Hackett, Charles Bronson...etc), Strom Thurmond's black love child, etc.

When the show was on the air, you may have read or heard about something that has made you wonder if the boys were going to talk about it that day. Well, here are some subjects you could've heard about:

Here's an example of "Life Sucks":

Bob was an 85 year old man, unsteady on his feet. One day he took a fall and didn't survive. Not a very interesting story until you look closer at the man. Colonel Bob Morgan was the pilot of the first WWII bomber to complete its 25 combat missions and return home without losing a single crew member. Here's the story: Memphis-Belle.com Scroll down towards the bottom of the page for Col. Bob Morgan's story  and more.  (The site  is written on an awful background, but its worth the read)

Saturday, January 3rd, 2004 at about 11:30pm, the Rover, Spirit, got its ass to Mars. Anthony watched the feed from NasaTV as it happened. Many Total Recall jokes were made. Also, "NASA's Stardust probe survived a plunge through the tail of a comet 242 million miles from Earth on Friday [Jan 2], capturing particles of the primordial dust that formed our solar system. If all goes well, Stardust will deliver the particles to Earth in a little more than two years." Wait, I think I saw that movie...

Christmas, 2003- A 6.6 earthquake rocks Iran and kills 28,000 people. Three days earlier, the same magnitude earthquake hit near San Jose, California and was felt in both San Francisco and Los Angeles. It killed 2 people- when a really fucking old building finally collapsed and happened to land on them. Hmm, 28,000 in Iran, 2 in California. And they say God hates Americans.
