Ah ha!
Here we go! Up and running!
Banks' little paranoid post made me realize that I did not try to start using a screwdriver. Ran downstairs while the wife was getting ready and gave it a shot, and it worked!
Pretty sure I am end the end of this craziness. It seems to be a combination of two problems both showing thier face at once:
-faulty ignition switch
-failing battery
I think the reason why it did not start last night, is because I did not have the ignition switch screwed into place and it was able to rotate just enough inside of the tumbler to not allow the start. I will screw it in place and see how it works.
Thank you for the assistance gentlemen.

Yes. It would be a little hard to steer when the wheel locks the first time you turn it.
I used my key to disable the steering wheel from locking. To remove the key tumbler the proper way, it involves taking off the steering wheel. Pretty sure theives have a much quicker way.
Install a hidden kill switch, fears alleviated.
