Do you want to do this:

cur = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute('INSERT INTO tweets (text, date) VALUES (?, NOW())' ,(status.text))

Or this:

cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute('INSERT INTO tweets (text, date) VALUES (?, NOW())' ,(status.text))

In the First case cursor is undeclared.

Also, as lqc pointed out, you silence all errors. Don't catch any exceptions to see what's going on or change it to something more specific (like UnicodeError).
