con    = Mongo::Connection.new
db     = con.db('twitter')
tweets = db.collection('tweets')

uri = URI.parse('https://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/sample.json')
https = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
https.use_ssl = true
https.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
https.verify_depth = 5

https.start do |h|
  request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri)
  request.basic_auth(USERNAME, PASSWORD)

  h.request(request) do |response|
    response.read_body do |chunk|
      parsed = JSON.parse(chunk) rescue next
      tweets.insert(parsed)
    end
  end
end

Fixed.
