If an NHL enforcer known for taking out players on the opposing team died, we wouldn’t eulogize him for his grace and nimbleness on the ice. Kirk was a skilled propagandist who had a very loose and opportunistic relationship to what most people would call “the truth.” Why pretend otherwise?

Literally the only thing I really remember how to say after three years of high school German is "Samelst du Breifsmarken" which means "do you collect stamps?"

So I'm golden.
