Thanks for the help - much appreciated.
I probably didn't explain things well. The stalk is not broken, something inside the column that keeps it upright broke and now it has sorta "rotated" out of position and will not stay where it's supposed to. When I say it's hanging there, I mean that the stalk has swung into a downward position. Just imagine if you could rotate your blinker so that instead of it being angled toward the steering wheel, it's angled toward the floor. I know - it's weird. I just can't believe this broke.
I'll most likely use it like it is until it breaks completely and then I'll have to spend the $400 to repair it.
Thanks again for the reply.
