The problem with this approach is what happens when you re-size text - in the example below it only takes one level of enlargement to have text overlapping.

[horizontally aligned lists at the end of parallel columns] Hi Ben, I'd keep the content together for semantic reasons. Then you need to assess the maximum text you allow for both the paragraphs and the lists. Calculate the maximum heights, then set the container height and absolutely position the list to the bottom. It might require some business rules around the allowed number of characters or words. Check out this site: http://www.moneymanager.com.au/ and remove list items (with Firebug) of the "Calculate your..." lists.
