560 SEC - no more power steering!

So I drove the car this AM and everything was fine. Get in after work and there is no power steering. I made it home, parallel parked (really hard without power steering), and looked under the hood. Plenty of power steering fluid and the serpintine belt was fine. I wiggled all the fuses for good measure. Before taking the car anywhere this weekend, any ideas for fixing this problem? Thanks in advance!

Did you look under the hood with the engine idling? How's the PS pump pulley? Serp belt tensioner?
