Unhappy D.R.T...Done Right There. Help please!

I have a stock 01 WS6 with about 80,000 miles, auto. Went running around for a day of hookie the other day, business as usual. Car ran fine no problems. Came home from the bar, parked in the garage, and went to bed.
The next morning I get in it, turn the key and nothing. I mean nothing. No click, click, click. Nothing. Battery is good. Lights, tunes, wipers, dings, etc. are all good.
It acts like it's in gear while trying to start, but it is not. No warnings just complete failure.
Any help much appreciated.
Oh yeah, if not obvious, I am seriously mechanically challenged.

It doesn't try to crank. It does absolutely nothing when you turn the key. It acts as if you are trying to start it in a drive gear. I take that back...when you turn the key, the tunes and dings and lights and gauges all act normally but, that is all that happens.
