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.

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.
 
Cheers,
 
Jens
